I would use OCCT and if it passes more than ten minutes, you're set (people have found that OCCT will cause errors in just a few minutes while it takes prime95 hours to do so). Just a word of advice, since I was totally into prime95 stability testing myself and now my cpu doesn't oc as well.

anyways, good luck, you seem to have a fairly good chip, I would consider investing in watercooling if you want to get the full potential out of it
OCCT3 error-ed at 8 minutes remaining on a 1 hour test Large Data Set. So a few minutes are not enough & now i set it for 2 hours.
