Which Stress test tool to use?

[aidenjmccomiskey]

I have a ryzen 2700x and I am checking to see if my overclocks are stable. Any sigegstions for stress test tools?

Personally I like OCCT, it will stop the test and alert you when it finds errors rather than waiting for a crash that may not come. Has integrated temperature and voltage monitoring etc

For temp testing: Prime95 v26.6 small fft torture test is best. It gives a solid 100% equitable gaming load so you'll see exactly where temps maximum stand.

For stability: Asus RealBench. Ignore temps mostly, that being taken care of by Prime95, but the test will put the entire pc through a vigorous workout, intended to use all the different instruction sets, cpu, ram, gpu etc.

OCCT is OK, but not that good for stability as it only uses a 80%-100% variable workload mixed in with linpack which uses high amounts of ram. Basically a jack of many trades, not even close to master of any. You won't get any solid numbers other than a min/max, neither of which last any real length of time,

Being able to run the 100yard dash in under 10seconds doesn't translate over to how fast someone can run a mile.
