when determining CPU temps at full load..

[onza]

How long do you run a game or prime95, to consider it a full load temp

thanks

what i do is this:
turn on mbm5
turn on prime95

i do my thing iwth prime95 running or just if im not doing anything, its running prime95 + 3dmark2001se loops

then when i go shtudown, in like at least 12hrs or so of running, i notice what the max temp mbm5 reached over the course of the day (or however long the comp is on)

but not just prime
my way of announcing a machines stabilty is if i can keep it running for abot 1-2 weeks with never having to shutdown, with prime95 running in the background all the time, and while i do my normal stuff on it

if it survies 2 weeks of that non stop, i think its safe to call stable lol
