Stress tests for overclock stability
Stress tests for overclock stability
Hi Guys, let me help you figure this out. For your Ryzen 3 1200 with a Deepcool Gammaxx 400 cooler, it's best to run standard stress tests like Cinebench R23 or AIDA64 to check CPU stability. The recommended duration depends on your system load and desired accuracy—typically 30 to 60 minutes for thorough testing. As for RAM, overclocking isn't usually necessary unless you're targeting specific performance gains; stick with the default settings unless you have a strong reason.
AIDA64 for CPU, 30 minutes.
this is my personal approach. regarding the Ryzen first generation, i doubt they're suitable for serious overclocking.
just experiment with a 100mhz boost per test. skip the long 30-minute intervals—do it in 3-minute bursts, then adjust again until you hit the crash point or reach your target speed. if it fails, reduce the frequency by 200mhz and run a stability check for 30 minutes.
for voltage, keep it under 1.4v; lower is preferable.
