You verify the stability of the OC by observing consistent voltage levels and performance metrics over time.

CPU usage at full capacity doesn’t guarantee intense workloads. The key factor is the real power consumption on the chip. Games don’t push enough stress to reveal stability, and the CPU isn’t drawing excessive watts. Even if your screenshot shows a high number, it might only be around 65 watts. For accurate results, try ASUS Real Bench or AIDA64 with FPU enabled. The download link is available here: https://rog.asus.com/rog-pro/realbench-v2-leaderboard/
There isn't a single test that fully evaluates the system, as long as everything runs smoothly without errors or crashes. Common tools include Prime 95 and OCCT, though caution is needed since certain tests may harm the system like Furmark. Avoid using Furmark; if you do, be prepared. This is the full list of benchmarks executed by the bot—ranging from overclocking to other tasks—and many are free or offer a challenge for those who want it.
