Is it okay keeping Prime95 running while I'm off to the movie?

I got my 6600k yesterday and I'm currently overclocking it. Right now it's at 4,6Ghz with stock voltage. I've been running Prime95 for more then 1 hour, and so far everything is working.

 

My parents are home, but I'm going to a movie for about 3 hours. 

Will I be good keeping Prime95 running while I'm gone? 

 

Let's say the PC freezes while I'm gone. Will the freezing kill the CPU after being stuck at it for like 2 hours?

Don't use Prime95, I think in a video Linus mentioned it as a "power virus"

I wouldn't personally. Also are you using auto voltage on that chip? If you are actually using stock voltage at that speed you might have a god chip.

And how long was it running when you checked? 

Right now it's been running for 1 hours and 15min. I'm leaving in the next hour for the movie.

As long as the average doesn't jump to 68-70c+ average by the time you leave you are fine.

From the info I gave you so far, and if things keep working, did I get the lottery?

You are running on pretty low voltage if you don't get any crashes I would say yes that is really good.

I'm confussed. I didnt change the voltage in the BIOS. I only changed the core speed.

 

I just opened CPU Z (forgot I had it installed). There is says: Core Voltage 1.392v, but with HWmonitor is says: VID 1.119v.

Yes. And you should use Aida64 when stress testing. p95 is a thing of the past and should be used anymore cause of the issues with it.

Yes, because he doesn't understand the program (or he does but doesn't care to explain to his audience).

Such as?

 

@Zyre Anyway, don't worry about it. I run it on my PC 24/7, there's absolutely no problem in letting on. Just make sure you set manual voltages rather than letting the mobo do whatever it wants to.
