Is 8-10 hours of prime95 stable enough?

I need to use my PC when I'm awake so I can only stress test for 8-10 hours while sleeping. Is it good enough though?

Of course! Around ~30 min to 2 hours is normal

Not really a stress test should only last a few minutes roughly 30 minutes. The reason why stress testers don't work is that just because it can survive it doesn't mean it will start playing games correctly. I stressed tested my CPU for a good hour and you know what happened? It gave me a BSOD when I opened a youtube video. Then it kept crashing when I wanted to play using PCSX2 then when I had a video on it would crash.

 

Basically just do stuff you would normally. If he works for the day without crashing then it most likely is a good OC

Don't use Prime95 for Haswell CPU because latest version of Prime95 use AVX 2 instructions that cause temperature to increase up to 20. Use Prime95 v26.6 for Haswell only, anything above V26.6 will cause temperature to increase insanely.
