single core 4.6, muti 4.2. 1.2ish volt, max temp 65C

Aida64, only stress CPU, cache and memory. Asus Prime Z390-A with Dark Rock Pro 4 memory is XMP profile, no timings change. The only things I touched are: all core 44, manual voltage 1.38V, LLC second highest level. during stress testing 1.368V-1.376V. This is max voltage i feel safe running. most people seems to be running at 1.35-1.36ish V. less than 1 minuet into Aida64 i get hardware failure detected. you know most people get average cpu, runs maybe 1.36-1.37V 5Ghz. and some people get exceptionally good cpu, maybe runs 5.2Ghz at 1.35V did i get an exceptionally bad, and perhaps the worst, 9600K??? can't even do 4.4Ghz at 1.38V???? WTF? the next OC i should try is 4.3Ghz but what's the point? at this point my 3800X @ 4.35Ghz is FASTER than this intel chip which supposedly should have higher clock speed than AMD, its only strong suit now is crap.

After 32 hours of various stress tests including multiple OCCT’s and RealBench, Aida64 and memtest also memtest86, this is what have. 3800X @ 4.35Ghz with 1.3V and LLC 4 (max 5 which gives no Vdrop). Under load voltage is 1.294V. My 3800X would not reach 4.4Ghz within 1.325V under load. (That is 1.331V with LLC 4) I can boot into windows with 4.4Ghz @ 1.331V LLC 4, but anything intensive would crash system instantly. And i don’t feel like going over AMD’s recommended max load voltage. So im stuck at 4.35Ghz but I see so many posts about reaching 4.4-4.5Ghz with less than 1.325V under load. Mostly 4.4ish Ghz, those 4.5Ghz usually goes beyond 1.325V under load. What do you guys have with a 3800X? Similar to mine or is it mine is just crap? Thanks.

Thank you guys! Will do all of above!

Hello guys, I've been stress testing my CPU using OCCT large and last I did it it failed. later I found out that it's due to my RAM OC. When I use default RAM XMP settings, it passed OCCT large no problems. So now I need a way to stress test my RAM OC. I have G.Skill 3600Mhz 16-19-19-39 kit. and I OCed it to 3733Mhz and I tightened all the subtimings. How can I stress test it? Can I use aida64's stress memory? When I first OCed it I just used DRAM calculator for Ryzen's Memory benchmark and run it 4 times in a row to make sure. Thanks
