Can anyone give me some basic directions for prime95 cpu stress testing?

I just want to see what it does to temps with my first cooling loop to see if I have a loop working okay or not.

Thanks.
 
Idle temps are around 28 usually. I'm maxing at about 60 while I play The Division. I am reading that skylake and prime95 don't work together. What else is there to push the cpu a little to make sure I have it seated and everything is working etc.? Pump ramped up right away too as the temps went so high, but I immediately stopped it when I saw 80.
