3900X Overclocking noob

-That1Guy- · April 26, 2020

I just built my first custom pc and got everything up and running and have been trying my hand at overclocking with Ryzen Master and using Cinebench R20 to test stability. I was able to get up to 4.4 ghz @1.35v ac and it seems stable for runs. I was looking up and an article said Silicon Lottery has been testing and only 6% of 3900X are stable at 4.2ghz @1.25v. Did I just get an amazing chip or are there better tests for stability?

How long did you run cinebench? Stability is a time thing, if it can run 100% for 24 hours then then that’s considered stable by most overclockers.

You should really run P95 and do both the small, medium & blend FFT sizes to test for stability. As well as a memory suite (memtest86). Each stress-test tests a different component of the system.

What FCLK & MCLK are you at?

Remember everyday OC [super stable] & bench OC [mildly stable] are different.
