For the most part if your system can pass prime95 blend for 8+ hours then you can consider it stable. I actually am very much down to earth. I follow up prime with 3dmarks to verify 3d stable as well.

People that post saying prime95 is not a good indicator of stability seem to be people that can't pass it.
