30minutes is enough

I usually run for couple of hrs.

If it doesn't crash in the first 30 minutes you have nothing to worry about..

Even when checking my overclocks i use 8-Packs advice (yeah, i said it) and Run Prime for about 20-30 minutes then play a game or two..

If it doesn't crash and the temps are still looking good, its happy days..

most modern games will make it fall over quicker than prime does if it's not stable so agree with above and do both
