i know we use programs like prime95 to test our o.c. but from what i understand the load it puts on the processor is way more than anything it would encounter in the real world.

are there any other more "real word" applications to use instead that will utilize all cores but maybe not as intense as prime95?
 
Just use your computer as you normally have. If it breaks, tweak it. Otherwise, the stress tests are available to push your system to high performance levels, levels at which, if your system can run at stable and consistent loads, will easily perform your daily routines. That's one of the points of using them.
