What's the best program to test max load temps besides Prime95 large FTTs? I fail P95 after just a few minutes so I need something else to test my max load temps. I can run SuperPI 32mb all day long but I don't think it's doing the trick. Any suggestions welcome!

OCCT (http://www.ocbase.com/occt.html)
Run at least "Test". It takes about ~30 mins. If it doesn't stop or crash within that time, then it's not too bad. Run "Torture" to get real stability check-up.

How much memory should I select for it to use?

look for a stability program call "toast", with it your cpu will run couple degree more than prime95 blend test.

Whatever it says there... Or slightly less than you have left after your OS is loaded. I think 350-400MB (for 512MB) or 800-900MB (for 1GB) would be safe. You don't want it to use pagefile.

S&M is another stress test tool - you can download it HERE (http://www.benchmarkhq.ru/fclick/fclick.php?fid=306)

SNM is my favorite.

another vote for S&M. Gets me 5c+ hotter than P95.

I'll host S&M when I get off in an hour, since nobody seems to know a link. ;)

s&m amoungst others (up to 1.6) (http://www.benchmarkhq.ru/english.html?/be_cpu.html)

Also I use OCCT @ 890-910mb depending on what else is loaded. 1hr min is my guide. If you can run it for longer, really will burnin everything(CPU/FPU and memctrlr). I used to be running the same settings @ 1.55vcore :D

stresscpu makes my AMD64 cpus hotter than SNM by around 1-2C

Same, stress CPU hammers mine, cant even load webpages sometimes :) i usually mix stressCPU with superPI.

S&M is interesting though :) if it works...

mmmm scanning antivirus, antispyware, ripping, encoding, rendering, and gaming at the same time would be great :D
