My question what Right version of prime95 for skylake ??  27.9 or 28.9

I use occt personally. If it passes 2 hours of that, it should be good. I don't use prime95, I don't trust aida and never heard of rog realbench so I can't make comment on stability. Should be fine though. Try a 2 hour occt if you want to be sure. I haven't had an oc fail that passed 2 hours of occt.

You want to test every drop of processing power your CPU has? Then you gotta use 28.9, as 27.9 doesn't make use of FMA3 for increased performance. If you want to call your system truly stable (which is a thing you can never guarantee), it has to survive anything your throw at it, including P95 28.9.

 

Also, an overnight 8h test to help "assure" stability is usually recommended as well. 1h is nice, but I've had my fair share of OCs that fail much later than that.
