Here is my i5 750 overclocked to 4.1 pix below.

Not bad at all.. probably a lot faster than my system
Yes easily in fact. 10 hours "complete loop" of not just prime but the prime blend test is the standard defacto best all around test for stability there is. The small fft test only loads the CPU and doesn't stress the memory controller at all, for this reason it's better to run the Blend test for overall stablity.
In fact there are 37 different K tests in prime blend and each one of them applies stress factors that are slightly different from each other. To run them all it usually takes around 10 hours of testing,.

1 hour isn't even close to being stable.
It's always best to prove your overclock is stable not just guess at it.
I defy anyone here to run the Prime Blend test for the complete 10 hour loop then post the results here.
I wouldn't consider running an overclock with anything less.
Ever see those idiots who use liquid nitrogen cooling to get some ridiculously high overclock then post it on youtube and think they're accomplishing something?
My very first overclock. I think my 920 did pretty well. Well, really, the ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 motherboard with ASUS TurboV helped too. I can't believe I'm posting at 4GHz right now.
Also I thought the 920 had a multiplier limit of 20. Mine went up to 22!
Overclock attempt #2. This one ended up being more stable.
