is it more effective to stress your cpu with a more then one stress testing software like prime 95 and occt

does this increase your chances of finding any instability

It should but remember that in real life sennarios your cpu wil never get so much load as these programs give it. I would test stability with in game testing.

  CPU:   Intel I5 3570K @ 4,6 GHZ   -- MOBO: Asrock Z77-Extreme4 -- GPU: EVGA GTX 770 2GB -- PSU:Corsair TX750M -- R AM: 16 GB 1333 MHz -- HDD: 2x 2TB -- 1x 120 GB HyperX SSD -- AUDIO: Creative Audigy 2 -- CASE: Fractal Design R4

-- Actually Like Windows 8 --

no the thing is that i was hoping in this way it will take me less time to find the instability rather then waiting 12 hours i can wait 6 hours

Yes. It's better to try different sort of tests. Playing a few games can be good for finding instabilities that a 24 hour run of Prime95 can miss.
