If you get 90 with IBT, you will probably stay below 80c with Prime95, and below 60c with FSX(roughly). Or, use it to set the limit for your CPU, when you get 90c, that is the limit for your cooler, don't go higher.
Use IBT for quick test, if you can stay below 90c, it's probably stable enough. When I first built my system and was randomly trying to get to 4Ghz or above I would get through like 7 passes and think I was going to make it and then BAM pass 8 or 9 would fail spectacularly with a BSOD. It probably takes me about an hour to run 7 passes depending on my clocks and HT on or off. For max testing it then recommended an hour of testing, but when I first started using stuff like IBT and LinX, the "gold standard" was 10 passes you could consider it stable. The OC guide I was following for my cpu has you run 3 passes at max and if it passes you can be relatively sure you're stable and increase your clock a bit more. Oops, forgot to mention, run IBT at "Maximum" not standard to get proper stress testing. Coretemp shows FSX heating the cpu to 64C on the hottest core.the rest are a few degrees cooler. I guess it would be safe to assume the system is stable.passes all three stress tests I have tried, and I have run FSX for 5+ hours with Active sky 2, all my saitek gear and panels, in complex aircraft with modest settings and no problems. I tried IBT as well, and passed sucessfully the first time on 'standard'.
