Default How do you know if an Overclock is stable for normal use?
I have my setup running at 240X11. Full load is 42 degrees C. Is it okay to run it like that all the time? or should I just run it when playing games?

edit- I was going to run prime95 overnight to make sure...

Thanks

Temps are good so your fine. Run prime all night but if you pass 12 hrs your good for gaming and everyday use.

You want blend because its stresses the cpu and ram.
