Windows 10 version 1903 paired with Realbench for testing purposes.
Recently I assembled a PC with a Ryzen 5 2600 and boosted its speed to 3.9GHz. I began performing stability checks using Realbench, completed an eight-hour test without any issues. The same results appeared with Prime95 blender and a short FFT run lasting an hour, also without errors. After upgrading to Windows 10 version 1903—the most recent release at the time—I ran another eight-hour Realbench test, but unexpected instability errors appeared. Could the Windows 1903 update have triggered this problem?
The only issue arose after the update, specifically with realbench. I re-ran Prime 95 using the new Windows update, and it functioned properly without any problems.
Windows updates might affect apps, try reinstalling and see the difference. Look for a newer version of RealBench and verify if your system still needs updates.
Yes, your OC appears stable based on the results. Both blend and small FFT passed without issues. Typically, stability tests last around 30 to 60 minutes.
recently i ran numerous tests and everything worked smoothly. then i played gta and pc crashed unexpectedly in just a few minutes. from my perspective, prime95 is better suited for checking cpu temperatures rather than stability. cinebench can cause a bad cpu overclock to crash, but for long gaming sessions it really tests how solid an overclock is.
A bit better, yes. For me, a solid real test is a CPU-heavy job—something like a game or GTA V. It really pushed my processor from 4.1 to 4GHz, but it didn’t stay stable beyond 4.0GHz. Cinebemch handled it fine at 4.1. You’ll need to find your own methods to check overclocking progress; I wouldn’t waste hours on Prime95 for long, as it’s a waste of time and power for me.
