I have an i2600k running at 4.5GHz at 1.36V with hyper threading disabled since I don't really run anything that takes advantage of it, and the chip seems to run cooler (I know, I know. I could've saved $100 and gone with a 2500k).
It just hit the 12 hour Prime95 blend test mark, and it ran 100 times through IntelBurnTest without any output disparities and without crashing.
I've been a long time lurker, and I've been reading around the web somewhat. I see a lot of people claiming that their chip is stable after passing three hours of Prime95. I've always thought 24 hours was the default benchmark.
I understand that if I want 100% stable I should run it at stock because that's what it was designed for. But is three hours of Prime95 enough to call stable? Is 24 hours too much?
By the way, I'm using a CoolerMaster Hyper 212+ with the push/pull fan setup. Prime95 doesn't seem to push temps past 65C, but would crash within 10 hours with lower voltages. IntelBurnTest, on the other hand, has pushed my chip up as high as 76C, but has passed 100 tests with voltage as low 1.335V.
