I started out with an AthlonII x4 620 at 2.6 stock and managed to push it up to 3.0. I did it in 100 megahertz increments and prime 95 tested for about six to eight hours each time to make sure it was stable. Was that long enough or should I have tested longer? I've heard you need 24 hrs to be sure, but I really only planned to do that when I reach the performance I wanted to make sure I'm rock solid. I'm running water, and I haven't touched voltage yet. Don't really plan to. All other settings are stock except FSB. Idle 25C full load 35.

That's fine. You can also use OCCT severe mode for quick OC testing and when you feel you've reached the limit, then use P95 for 24 hours.
