CPU OC benchmark software

[TonyTheNain]

Wich benchmark software should I use to test the OC of my CPU?

Asus realbench is good, otherwise AIDA 64 has a free trial.

Well.. I mean cinebench

Cinebench, Prime95, and Aida64. Cinebench is quick and gives you a score you can compare to other people's or your before overclocking. Prime95 and Aida64 are stress tests that you should run for a long time to make your overclock is stable.

And this is why I should proofread.

I recommend Prime95, Aida64, IBT, and some of your most CPU-intensive games. Running each for a few hours (I do three-four hours) allows you to find instability when going full throttle while the games show it in the real-world applications.

If i see that the software crash or something else, it's because it's not stable?

You'd have to check Event Viewer to find the actual cause of the issue. It could be the CPU, memory, driver, or even a power delivery error.

Okay! And if nothing weird happens, the OC is good to go and well done?

A blue screen will always be a possibility, but you should be good.

 

Be sure to play many different games as part of your benchmark. I can tell you from experience that you WILL feel stupid for passing 12 hours of benchmarks only to BSOD while playing Rocket League.

I'll follow what you told me! Thank you!

Also, this is a great tool for diagnosing BSOD's
