Prime 95

[Ahhlong]

I recently overclock my i5 760 from 2.8 Ghz to 3.2 Ghz on a gigabyte borad and I try running prime 95 for 6 hours and all the test is a pass and I am wondering whether is this counted stable . I usually only game for 4 to 5 hours a day. And is it good to just enable load Line calibration for the voltage and not tuning the other voltage?

6 hours seems fine, but you should run Prime95 for at least 12 hours, preferably 24 hours.

 

The reason why is that instability can crop up after longer stress tests.

 

As @LinusTech said in one of his videos, your system is either Stable, or it isn't. A little instability, or "good enough", might seem OK now, but it could introduce worse issues later, and if you think your system is stable when it really isn't, then that's one additional unknown factor when troubleshooting issues.

 

Trust me, just spend the 24 hours running Prime95 just to make sure it's 100% stable. It'll save you countless hours of troubleshooting if some issue crops up in the future.
