To add to what Dave said, make you you are very careful with high T.
Previous discussions in the archive give more detail. At very high T (above
500 or so) you will sample cis/trans isomerization, chirality inversion and
other things that you may not want. You will need to do very careful and
extensive analysis, and perhaps include many additional restraints during
the simulations. You also may want to heat slowly and don't just assign the
high thermostat as temp0. You also want a structure that is well minimized
and equilibrated prior to the heating.
