How can I stress my CPU in order to check its stability, and its temps under heavy load? I mean, is there any software that can do this for me? I currently have PCMark 2002, 3DMark 2001SE and SiSoft Sandra 2003 Pro.

Also, what are the normal temps for TbredBs? I've heard that I must never exceed 50C/122F in any case, even under heavy load. Is this true? What's the max temp that a Tbred can operate properly?

The Burn-in wizard in Sisoft Sandra is good for stressing harware.
