No success message after finish running Intel Burn Test.

Today I was running Intel Burn Test at the Maximum stress level for 10 runs. I have 16GB RAM so near 16GB gets used up with Intel Burn Test at the maximum stress level. The test completed with the word finished at the top right of the Intel Burn Test window, so I know that at least it finished the test. My computer didn't freeze up either. If I didn't get a message after finishing running Intel Burn Test does that mean that it didn't pass the stress test? I'm running my i7-3930k at 4.2GHz at a manual vcore of 1.28v without LLC so really it's getting a vcore around around 1.232-1.24v during full load. Also my vcore is set manually. This is actually less than the VID that is displayed in Coretemp. Also my 3930k at 4.2GHz reaches 75C on the hottest core during Prime 95's small FFT test. So if I didn't get a message, of either success or failed, at the end of running IBT even though it completed all 10 iterations does that mean the test failed on me and my overclock is not stable?

If all the output values were the same, it means it did the math correctly and was stable throughout that test.

There are a lot of other factors in being truly stable. For example, my 920 passes any math challenge thrown at it but will crash eventually while idling away unless I pump more voltage through it.

The thing is that my PC didn't crash as I could still use it after without rebooting. I also have the vcore on manual at 1.28V and C1E enabled so when all cores are running at 1.2GHz at idle, it's receiving 1.272v, so actually I'm getting more vcore during idle than load due to vdroop without LLC.
