What are the chances of a faulty card making it through 6 hours of OCCT GPU at 95c?

sorry i was just messing with ya. didn't think you'd take it seriously.
to answer your question... yes, i would say you are pretty stable if you managed to do that. although i would rather put my trust on furmark rather than occt for stability testing video cards.
in any case, 6 hours is a LONG time to be putting a gpu at 95C. that's 6 straight hours of constant 3D mode and having your video card above 90C during those straight 6 hours could potentially--i said potentially--damage something, somewhere in the card. maybe not the GPU itself, then perhaps the RAM or the VRMs. i imagine the VRMs are way above 100C during the first few minutes. you ran it for 6 hours straight.
it's not the same as playing a game for 6 hours straight. because when you play a game, you switch back and forth into 2D & 3D mode (when you pause, when you access menus). thus giving the GPU some time to rest. temps also fluctuate during gaming from lows to highs, vice versa.
