Â
A stable overclock should be able to withstand any load, regardless of how unrealistic that load is.
Â
Saying that 100% usage is "overstressed" isn't exactly true as Bubba pointed out. Â My stance is that the CPU isn't the only thing. Â Think about folding, I have seen time and time again where people can pass 24-48 hours of Prime95 and Lynx/IBT stress-testing but get random crashes only minutes in to folding before it even maxes out it's temperature.
Â
In that case the memory is making a huge difference as well and also stressing out some motherboard components a little more then just plain CPU stress-testing.
