What is the best program to get a processor as hot as it can get? I'm running CPU Burn-in with error checking disabled and the most i can get is 5 degrees over idle. I'm testing the El-Cheapo $10 HSF and comparing it to the XP-120 and Delta Low Noise 75CFM fan I just got today. And perhaps I can get a few more mhz out of this 2.4A until I order my 630 and new mobo.

Whats wrong with Prime95? It has 3 options: 1)max heat 2) max ram 3) moderate

Nothing at all, I just can't run dual Prime95, because I do not have a hyper-threading processor. One instance of it would be stressful enough, and who knows what two would do. My guess is, absolutely nothing, or crash this beast. lol
