It is not tough to do. Run it overnight. Most use OCCT min 8 hours and some longer up to 24 hours. I have crashed LinX 100 passes at around 90(thats a 5 hour run and much harder stress than OCCT). That pretty much means not stable. If you pass an 8 hour run, most likely it is stable so why not see? Don't get so upset, I am not calling a 3-4 hr run unstable just 1 hr is not nearly enough...... and I am not suggesting a 1 year run. Again, just trying to help. I have been doing this for many years.
I have been running stable on X58 boards since doing 1 hour test my test rigs and my clients and it had never BSOD in my daily usage. Use to do your style of testing in the past and now I change the approach. Thanks for your suggestion and I know what you mean.
