Been there, done that... on a couple of occations.
With Netburst CPU's/rigs.
These "stability-tests" don't really say that much about your CPU, being PhenomI/II (or Preslers for that matter).
It says more about the *huge* amounts of current (Amps x V) that the poor vrms/Mosfets must take without melting/damaging the PCB/traces.
I opt for 1hour OCCT as "stable clock".
We do not want to burn our boards/test "board-clocks" do we?
Regarding PHII/45nm I expect this to be a lesser problem as it is/was for first gen Agena (125w+++ models).
Speaking of boards for OC'ing PHII, will DFI LANPARTY JR 790GX-M2RS be a good choise?
