Which is the hottest CPU stress testing software?

Question

I use IntelBurnTest, it gets my CPU pretty hot. 52 degrees @2.2GHz on 1.15 volts. Room temp 19 degrees C.
I was wondering is there a stress testing software that gets your CPU even hotter than burn test does. I reallly want to check out how much my new heatsink can take.

Prime 95. Also 52 degree C is not bad for a cpu. Mine Q6600 would idel around 40C. I have hit beyond 70C will no issues or no concern with damage. But something to keep in mind, is that heat destroys electronics, and you're computer will actually slow down due to heat.
