stress testing cpu overnight?

is it ok if I leave Aida64 running overnight without monitoring it? I overclocked it to 4.7Ghz @ 1.325V, pretty sure I can get a little more, but too lazy. Its running right now with temps from 79-85C. I feel like its stable but Linus did say that its good to stress test it at least 4hrs.

4hrs is to much

I would do it for 30 mins max

That's too short. I've had a overclock crash in an hour @ 4.8ghz 1.22v. BTW 1.225v was stable :D

maybe..but 99% of the time...once it reaches its max....it will either be fine or crash

and thats normally gonna happen within the first hour

One of my 4790k was four hours stable in AIDA64 at 4.8/1.285, so I thought I was good.  But after about a week I noticed at least couple times it had rebooted, so was obviously not 100% stable.  It took some twelve hour runs to figure out that it really needed 1.32 v to be rock solid. 

 

Just be aware that the longer your stress run the closer your average temps will get to the peak temps of shorter runs.  For me that was still high 60s to low 70s, so I'm ok with it.

 

Maybe I could have found a magic offset voltage, and if temps were a problem I'd probably need to go that route.
