I believe the purpose of this program is to raise the CPU temperature to see if
elevated temperature causes problems. Many people over-clock there CPUs and get
away with it until thay run a program that causes the CPU temp to rise above
some critical value that causes problems. I would imagine that if you
successfully ran the warmup program you have a good temperature margine on your
CPU.
