Which one will give you the best to tell whether the system is stable or not?

If you pass Hot CPU for 6 hour test, then we can assume system is stable.

Any ideas?
Thanks

For Hot CPU tester you can set all tests to run simultaneously and set all the iterations to the higest number for more aggressive testing.

Hot COU tester is good because it tells you where the failure occured (chipset, cpu, memory, etc). You should run it for 24 hours though, because the heat build-up is progressive. Load temps are hotter after 15 hours than they are after 8.

Prime is also great. You should be able to run both for a truly stable system.
