OCCT
Check if the system is secure and consider the temperature limits before leaving it unattended.
Unless you are in some competition. 1 -2 hours of OCCT or any other test that loads system to full is enough. As soon as temperatures are stable , not much else can influence tests. As far as I'm concerned, those tests are for troubleshooting only. If you have a suspected HW problem it would show.
Btw, problem with Real bench is a SW not HW problem.
Depends on CPU but I can't see a reason to run it that long with high temps.
The temperatures stay below 87c when FPU is higher than CPU, memory, and cache. I understand that's not perfect, but my system handles this well. Most gaming sessions show around 76c.
I wonder how much stress testing is really necessary. The only test it fails is realbench, but it crashes during that on standard settings. It's been stable for about a year now. What I did was disable the thermal and power limits that caused my CPU to slow down to 4.0ghz at full load. Now it's running at 1.264v under load instead of 1.28v, thanks to changing the LLC setting to 6. This is for a 4.4ghz configuration.
It seems to be working fine. If it crashes, I'll just hit my head on the desk and try again.

That's exactly what I observed. I was worried about realbench because the 4.4ghz stock wasn't functioning. After using AIDA and OCCT, no issues arose. Just played for about two hours without any problems. We'll see how it goes. Your responses really helped calm my mind.
