Program Category: Stress Testing
 Prime95 is a very useful stability tester for overclockers. When you run a "Torture Test" it will indicate whether or not your PC is stable. If you can run this application for at least 24 hours without errors than you can assume that you have a stable overclock. Current Version: 25.9 build 9 Publisher: http://www.mersenneforum.org/

You should have no trouble keeping it at 60°C overnight. It's not necessarily the best idea to run a C2D that hot 24/7 for an extended period of time (pre-G0s, that is) as 55°C max. is recommended for long term overclocking. Still, for the period of time that you're talking about, there should be no adverse effects to your gear.

Stability testing is a very subjective thing. Generally, even the most die hard of testers will accept a 24 hour test as proof of stability. Others say 6 or 10 hours. Personally, I don't go nearly that long, instead doing a shorter test and consider things fine unless I notice instability when running other applications.

...would a 24/7 OC with load temps @ 49-51ish threaten the chips longevity seriously? I think the juncture point is 65*C ???
