i run 2 copies cause dual core but just wondering if its a good stress test? I have been using it to check my overclocks because i see under task manager that it does full load. I have run super pi but i dont know how to loop it for 48hours like i can with cpu burn in

2nd question is in task manager would i be able to if TM2 (temp protect)kicks in . I have never seen a cpu throttle so just wondering

2 Instances of Prime 95 works pretty well, and if that isn't enough run those,

and a 3dmark benchmark.

ie 2x P95+ 3DMark 2001(set on looping).

I find that lot's of "burn-in" type apps, as well as benches will show 100%

utilization, but some can generate alot more heat than others.
