Wait, you are still a thing? I really liked the forums but thought they shut down years ago.

Impressive, but I always wonder how much stability testing goes into these overclocks.

With just the stock tools, I can push my GeForce pretty far (relatively spoken, absolutely nowhere near what "professional" overclockers can achieve, of course), and it may appear stable for many hours, until suddenly it crashes anyway.

So what's the qualification of a "successful" overclock? Is it just passing a benchmark, and after that for all we care it can go up in flames?

In many cases when chasing numbers, yes. In most claims of the “fastest overclock of $thing” the accepted criteria is completing the benchmark without crashing.

Different context but for what it's worth I've been running a mild overclock (3.3GHz to something like 3.6GHz) for about 15 years on a Xeon X5680. Passed days of burnin/stress testing at assembly, and it's been very stable this whole time. It's on nearly 24/7 and is actively used.
