What is stable system? Is Prime the best method? - Post your thoughts here

Stable to me is 48hrs of large fft primes on all cores at once.
A run of s&m at normal length, the mem test.
As well as a 8hr run of y cruncher with the mem setting maxed.
Then 2hrs of each games I have pretty much, and days of use of generic things like web surfing and watching vid's.
If I can do everything without it screwing up in any way, then it's stable to me.

Linx I personally believe is a waste of time.
It's test of mem or cpu stability is low balling it by quite a bit.
It's never been no where near what I need to get 100% stable.

OCCT lmfao, that program is a complete joke.
Err I probably shouldn't put it so bluntly...

Edit:
Oh yeah, furmark, I run that for an hour to see if my vga cooling is ok.
It's not a test I rely on for stability, just for cooling.
