If you want a fan control, that's about the best way to do it.

Or you could build your own, use a timing circuit, do it by PWM, and remember to put a small cap backwards across the controller to avoid a knock. Then you aren't burning power through a pile of rheostats.

Two hours isn't enough, and last time I looked, LinX was the new standard, not Prime95. At the very least, do you have a multithreaded Prime95?

Any program that heavily stresses a CPU will be far more than adequate for me because I'll never hit even close to those usage numbers. Generally, I've seen that if it will BSOD, it will do so within the first hour or so. I could run it longer but why? If I start seeing crashes, I'll know the problem.

And yes, I used the multi-threaded version.
 
4.6 and 4.7 Ghz crashed within 30 minutes or so. Yes, I could likely tweak more and get it stable, but I don't want to up the voltage too much so 4.4 or 4.5 is adequate.

And there's why I run it longer, so that if I get random crashes, I know one of the things it isn't.

You are correct though, nothing loads the system as much as a stress tester.

I ran my E8400 system through stress tests overnight and spent days tweaking it. It was solid but even then, it would see some odd crashes maybe once every 3 or 4 months.

I'm too lazy and busy to mess with this one too much. If I see the crashes, I'll dial it back down but I'd be willing to bet that I won't see any odd crashes.
