Prime95: what settings should i use for about 5 hour testing?

Solution
I click custom and set ram to 90% of what I have. Make sure you are not using your computer during prime testing. Shut off Norton if you have it because it'll run background tasks. Some people test for 24 hours. The longest I tested my 2500K overclocked to 4.5 GHz was 8 hours. I've seen people test as short as 1 hour and been stable. Good luck!
