When can I consider my system "stable"

[Paalandre]

Hi, I'm currently working on OC my rig, and was wondering what is considered stable for 24/7 use here on OC3D.

The way I have done it in the past is to run Prime95 Small FFT for 1hour, then the blend test for 8hours for the CPU and memory. Is this fine, or is there a better way to do it?

For the GPU I really have no idea how to spot artifacts and such, so in the past I have just given it a small OC that any card could do.

Ones it runs F@H for 24/7 helpA even 8hours is fine...

personal opinion tho !!!

EDIT for CPU/GPU.........

With the GPU it can be a little harder to figure whether it is stable or not. Run Furmark for 10mins with the fans set to 100% - KEEP AND EYE ON IT! Furmark will create more heat than any game could ever.

If the GPU can do the above without much of an issue then it's time to play games! Basically, if your games run without crashing or without artifacts then you're sorted.

Ok, so if I got this right, for my CPU i first do prime95 small FFT's for 1-2 hours, then I OC my memory and test with prime95 blend test.

After that have passed for 8hours, I use F@H for 8hour to be 100% sure.

Then I OC my GPU and use furmark.

Pretty much!

You can use the GPU tracker (http://fahtracker.com/) to test both GPU and CPU,
