As for testing stability use: CPU Prime 95 and OCCT "NOT simultaneously" (sometimes 1 picks up faults the other doesn't)

And for testing stability in: GPU 3Dmark 11 or Furmark to seriously stress test, you have to keep your eye's peeled to look out for artifacts (such as flickers of misplaced objects, shapes or colours for example).
 
These to watch your vcore and tempsCore Temp (http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/ )

CPU-z (http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html )

Benchmarking

Cinebench ( http://www.maxon.net/downloads/cinebench.html )

Prime95 ( http://www.mersenne.org/ )

3Dmark 11 CPU tests only ( http://www.3dmark.com/ )

superpi ( http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/366/Super_PI_Mod_v1.5.html )

FluidMark CPU run only ( http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/physx-fluidmark/ )

You do not need all of these but two of them particular would be good to use. I use Prime95 and Cinebench to test.

As you can see by my sig I have a 2500l that I got to 5ghz. Got it to 5.2ghz but have not recorded it yet.
