Seti on my system (athlon 1.4 t-bird) can give up to a 10 deg C rise in temp - however, I believe "burn-in" is a term that is not totally related to heat - it means to to stress or exercise the CPU or other part of the system. Each of memtest, GCC and Seti stress different parts of the system (think of how many transistors on a CPU and what you would need to do to test each one!!), so if a real stubborn problem, use the lot and more!
