How many stress test hours to be considered a fully stable OC?

Hi,

I have an AMD FX 6300. I was able to achieve an overclock of 4.3GHz @ +0.068750 (Offset) VCORE with LLC set to Ultra High. I did a prime95 Small FFTs test for 13 hours and didn't get any warnings or errors. The temps were also good (Didn't exceed 60C).

I do lots of code compilation on daily basis, I use virtual machines too, thus I want my OC to be as much stable as possible so I wouldn't get failed compilations (Or maybe corrupt binaries) or get crashes in my VMs.

So how many hours of stress test should I do to be sure that my CPU is fully stable? Also, other than prime's small FFTs, is there any other type of stress test I should do?

Thanks!

But is it enough for tasks such as code compilation and virtualisation?

I don't do that sort of usage so I can't speak for that but doing 13 hours of testing with such a low temp is excellent, I really don't think it will be a issue but well see if someone else who maybe has a better idea can chime in.
