let the chip be 1 hour stable, superpi stable and let it stand the test of time
not some crazy 12+ hour sessions
I perfer to know my systems rock solid. While anywhere between 6-24 hours is good for me depending on my needs to play with the system. I don't fold, I game ALOT and I want to make sure if I game im not going to crash in the middle of it and loose hours if not weeks worth of gear just because I failed to test stabiliy (really thats an over exageration). I do some 3D Renderings sometimes and I know that chews CPU cycles and if that fails its not life or death but its nice to know I can complete a rendering without it failing on me.

You won't kill your chip for stability testing it. Thats the point of doing such. Heck my old E6400 chip I had, had a nice run of 48+ Hours of stability in Prime, forgot I left it running over the weekend oops hehe. That chips nice and stable from 3Ghz to 3.6Ghz with a good amoutn of voltage and even 3.76Ghz, just have the cooling to cool it.
