Does rc5 have a 'torture test' like prime95...or do you just run it and have it crunch numbers?

It hammers on teh ALU in the cpu. I wasnt looking to torture test, just to use 100% to get the temp up. I had it set on high priotiry so it and the 3dmark were really figthing for CPU time

RC5 has no problem heatin up my CPU, but you can have the worlds most unstable CPU, and unless the system locks or blue screens, RC5 will never tell you it's unstable like Prime95 will..

I was running the CPU stability suite I dloaded from Ctrl-Alt-Del. Ran on the mini for 3 hours and the temp never broke 8DegC
