Oh, ok then. :-) I just didn't know what "monitor progress

In the readme, you say "if sub-spec, your system may lock up
after 2-10 minutes". So, if we're running burnP6 for 10 minutes,
temps stabilize, and the machine stays up, it's a hint that
we're ok?

That's what I meant, they shoot right up to ~50 from idle. :-)
Very cool program! (no pun intended)
