Stress Prime 2004??

Is this a reliable program for testing your cpu limits?

I just ran it for about 5 hours on "blend", and my cpu never went over 60C, no errors or anything. I just want to make sure that it's a reliable source. Or if there's something better someone might recommend.

Thanks.
Matt

I know lots of people use Prime95 for testing their stability/limits, and I believe that Stress Prime is a GUI to that so it is a popular way of testing (even if the name is different).

That's what I figured, but I just wanted to be sure. The only reason I like SP more than Prime is because it just gives you a lot more information about what's going on while it's runnning. I like being able to keep track of the changes in temp, when they happened, etc without having to keep an eye on it constantly. And having the log to refer to afterward.
