You can change the time per FFT if you don't want to wait close to 24hrs for it to finish an entire loop. There are 82 FFT lengths, so you can figure the time required to finish that. Let it run through the entire loop.
Afterwards you can do a quick 1 thread test to make sure your stable on that. If you crash it's probably cause the voltage is dropping too much during a single core load.
IBT is a good quick test and heat generator, to see what your temps are like at MAX.

If you do 90% RAM, make sure your pagefile is set to 1.5 times the RAM at max because if not, that will cause a worker to stop. That happened to me.
