How long should I run Prime 95 be tested to check stability on Intel i7 965 ? I heard 8 hours and others say run Prime 95 to 24 hours. What is the correct answer. I plan to OC my processor to 3.8 Ghz and run some test on it.

Its open to debate really. I think 12 hours on small FTT's without instability will be fine. That's what I did at least.

If there is instability does it void the warranty? |

If you do it yourself it might. But if you call DS and have them walk you through it then your warranty is still good.
