Jul 14, 16, 3 52, I am one of those "extremists" who does a final 24 test run. I decided to just let it run overnight. Next morning, it had crashed at the 14 hour point. Repeated that evening. It reached 18 hours before it crashed. After that, I test for 24 hours. Dec 26, 0 19, 6.
Interesting note for the 'extremists. I have had zero BSODs since, and do not plan on tweaking anything further. I have not BSODed during any heavy gaming sessions or during any heavy multitasking I am also an advocate of enjoying your PC MaDMagik Distinguished. Oct 12, 0 19, Ah, good. I am not alone. Dec 9, 1 19, 9. There is no point to run prime95 for more than 20 min. Running prime95 for 24 hours is just stupid I can say anything more. This is so incredibly wrong. MaDMagik :.
If you can? Well with gaming, web surfing etc maybe it really isnt a must. If there was no chance for cpu instability causing damage to my work maybe I wouldnt care about it that much either.

As overshocked stated, all PCs will crash eventually even on so called "stable" PC. As long as I get no more than 1 crash a month, I'm totally satisfied. So far I haven't had a single crash in months and I haven't done more than 3 hours of Prime95 tests.
My main goal for running Prime95 is to monitor the max temperatures. We all do different things with our computers. If all I did was gaming and it crashed every once in a while, big deal, so what? Sounds like a song, doesn't it? I could just as easily chalk that up to a buggy video driver. Apr 20, 1 0 18, 0. Prime95 24 hours is accepted as stable with the O. But after all it's your computer. I just hope I don't ever get any data or torrents that have been on your system.
Prime95 is often used for stability testing especially with us overclockers however it seems to be a very debated topic as to how long one needs to test a PC before saying that its stable. The Gold Standard sort of speak seems to be 24 hours Whats never really talked about is the technical reasons as to why 24 hours is the Gold Standard?
Is there an actual technical reason or is this just some arbitrary number that is been passed around the internet? Is there an ideal amount of time that one should test the PC for? Most desktop rigs running Prime95 reach their maximum operating temp after 10 to 15 minutes; most overclocking failures will manifest themselves because thermals are what gets in the way of most overclocks.
As long as I was willing to accept occasional hard crashes of my machine, I called an overclock "stable" if it lasted an hour on P Some custom-watercooled systems have quite a lot of heat capacity in the water, and take hours to reach maximum CPU temp. Once I started doing tasks where accuracy mattered and crashes could cost me a day's computation or more, I started testing with P95 for 24 hr or more.
Some failures, particularly RAM hiccups, manifest themselves very rarely. If I'm overclocking RAM to any settings more aggressive than SPD built-in settings, I run torture tests for 48hr or more to try to ensure memory is stable.
I used to test each separately in hopes of identifying the culprit for a failure, and found that two separately stable OC settings for cpu and ram could combine to make for rare crashes and data corruption. Another reason to do 24hr test is that an OC that's right on the edge of instability might work fine in the evening, but fail in the heat of the day. When I want to check hardware I use p95 for about min. That's on a PC that's not going to crank numbers for gimps.
Reason: kant spel. I personally run for 12 hours because thats usually how long my computer is on for. X 3. I always test it for longer than the hardest task I will ever ask of my computer.
For example, the hardest thing my computer does is video editing work and big render jobs take 4 hours. After effects work is very memory intensive so I make sure my ram is super stable. With that in mind, if I am 8 hours Prime Stable then I am fairly sure nothing will ever crash my computer during normal use.
I guess the longer you test for the better. The New; Q at 4. Lots of people agree that a 24hr blend is the trick, but hard to see a diff from where I'm sitting. Reason: Which is my couch.
