How long should I run Prime95

Just wondering how long should I run Prime95 to get an accurate idea of load temperatures?Any ideas will be appreciated.

For checking temps a good 20 min run will be enough.

Don't forget to load your GPU at the same time for a more accurate view of the worse case scenario temperatures though.

What I do on a quad core system is run three instances of Prime95 and one of 3DMark06.
