If you really want to test for heat, install GIMPS Mersenne client from www.mersenne.org (no Gentoo package available). You can set the client for system benchmarking only, if you're not interested in joining the prime searching project. Note that some errors, like memory errors, can take a long time to be noticed. Leave the client running for at least a week to see if your memory is OK. GIMPS can detect memory errors which are unnoticed by memtest86 binary.
