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? Build Specs: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Bj9vYH

You tested Cinebench for an extended period to check its stability. Running it continuously for 24 hours is seen as reliable by many overclockers.

Ensure P95 runs with all sizes—small, medium, and blend—to check stability. Include a memory test (memtest86). Each stress test evaluates a separate system part. What FCLK and MCLK levels are you working with? Keep in mind that everyday OC is super stable while bench OC is only mildly stable.
