Stability testing

I tend to do 10 passes of ibt on standard half hour of p95 and if that all runs through ok leave it overnight folding
 
Depends on what I'm going for and what I'm most concerned about and what im tweaking, at the moment on air tweaking the cpu Id go for large fft to really get the temps, if I was playing with mem timings small fft, if I was finishing a full system play then blend, tbh though a mix of IBT prime and folding if Its still going by the morning I'm happy

If i stress test, and it fails either IBT or prime, i would consider it unstable.
The problem is most people dont know how to run IBT properly, so u may pass a test with IBT but fail with a Prime blend test.
Running IBT just on standard is wrong, as ideally u need to run IBT with no running background processes and a custom amount of ram, so u get at least 75% ram usage during the test.
Prime blend test does this, so that is why Prime can find an unstable overclock, but it usually takes a lot longer.
bump the vcore another notch, and test again
