Hi. I'm having this issue too with Ryzen 5700x. I get 4,750mhz on OCCT but 4,600mhz on Cinebench. None of the limits I have set are being reached so it's definitely not a throttling issue. Answer from MaKTaiL on reddit.com

[SOLVED] - Stress test program - which one is the best? | Tom's Hardware Forum

July 1, 2020 - I don't use either HWMonitor, nor OCCT, so I couldn't tell ya. Cinebench - you don't mention which version you're using - is a constantly fluctuating workload; that kind of load is best for testing voltage stability.

r/overclocking on Reddit: Cinebench is NOT a stability test

January 14, 2021 -

I know probably half of readers here don't need to hear this, but I've been seeing a wave of Ryzen users that show up to ask about their voltages and clocks which always seem to be "you won the silicon lottery".

Just felt it needed repeated in a recent post, I'm sure it is also a quick search on the FAQ if anyone could be bothered before posting

I think a lot of people are just impatient and don't realize how much work goes into testing a system. I dislike memory OC because it takes so much time to be confident in it and there are so many different settings that impact stability. CPU OC is definitely more straightforward and at this point is a lot less warranted than the golden days of 20% overclocks. I just got a 5800x and I'm not even going to try. GPU and memory OC are totally still valid but CPU is just a lot work work for 5-10% extra with a healthy dose of crash risk.

if you want a stability test try warzone, if that shit don't crash to desktop, your pc is stable

June 3, 2020 - Passing Cinebench R20 is good for demonstrating stability in a tentative way. It has the advantage of being a short, quick test that can help you get to an approximate max overclock without spending a lot of time. Once you find get to the point where you think you believe you have attained the max overclock on reasonable voltage, then I would run Realbench or OCCT ...

r/overclocking on Reddit: Clockspeeds lower in Cinebench R23 than OCCT?

March 23, 2023 -

Been fiddling around with PBO2 on my new 7900x and I noticed that my clock speeds on Cinebench are oddly lower than what I get from OCCT. At -30 offset and 110w power limit, I hit roughly 4.85 GHZ but in OCCT with AVX2 with large data set and extreme mode. Thing is my scores are scaling properly with them getting higher from what I've tested but I was just curious as to why this is the case.

Hi. I'm having this issue too with Ryzen 5700x. I get 4,750mhz on OCCT but 4,600mhz on Cinebench. None of the limits I have set are being reached so it's definitely not a throttling issue.

Why is that odd? Some workloads just use more power than others so clocks have to drop to stay under the power limit.

What's considered a stable overclock?

AMD CPUs usually go straight into the power limit before it gets hot enough with Prime95 - its useless with AMD for testing, so you need to use AIDA or similar tools that generate enough heat with memory/cache ussage. Cinebench R20 is bad for stability testing, because you have no transients.

r/overclocking on Reddit: Why is everyone using Cinebench R23?

Hi, I'm new to overclocking and measuring

I just recently downloaded Cinebench 2026 from Maxon because I want a single app that can stress-test and benchmark both my CPU and GPU at the same time

But before that, I always find a lot of people and TechTubers using Cinebench R23

Is there any particular reason a lot of people are using R23?

The install base is way bigger than c24, there’s more historical data, and it’s still completely relevant as a single and multi core benchmarking app for new hardware. Benchmarks are only useful for comparing to other results, so a benchmark derives usefulness by the volume and availability of those results, and r23 simply has the most available.

There's just like an infinite amount of scores to compare to, and most everyone knows what a certain part should do

June 18, 2021 - Differend loads on the CPU. Also, while running Cinebench you also run smth like HWinfo to check the frequency, and just by having it run it interferes in your frequency reading and score. OCCT does that too, but way less.

June 18, 2021 - As a CPU benchmark this means it's useless it has the same problems as geekbench the reason why Cinebench is so well respected and used is because the results are comparable to another cpu regardless of their memory because ram type and speed doesn't affect the score

July 26, 2025 - You can also use OCCT AVX2 – Large – Normal/Prime 95 Big FFTs to test for CPU IMC instability which is more useful for RAM but can be used for CPU OC testing as well. Cinebench should not be used as a stability benchmark, instead, you can just use it to see if your performance is increasing with the overclock and if it starts regressing with faulty settings.

Hello! Newbie to overclocking here!!!

I'm running cinebench 2024 and want to ask

If my PC passes cinebench without crashing, is it safe to assume my overclock is stable? Thank you! Cheers!

Cinebench also doesn’t check for errors, it’s only when you are so unstable that it chrashes you see instability.

No, Cinebench is a benchmark. If you're testing a Ryzen CPU, you should probably test using CoreCycler . Not sure what's best for latest Intel models, hopefully someone else can chime in if that's what you're working on. If you are testing RAM, you want to use a mix of stuff like TestMem5 , OCCT , Karhu , or HCI Memtest . I usually do Karhu and TestMem5. For GPU, benchmarks or games are actually usually fine, but you'll want to mix standard rasterization and ray tracing benchmarks. I've found the UE5 games are the most likely thing to crash a GPU, but if you know a game doesn't use RT, you can pretty safely run more aggressive clocks. I keep a raster and an RT profile for my GPU.

OCCT Alternatives: Top 12 Benchmark Tools | AlternativeTo

There are more than 25 alternatives to OCCT for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Mac, Android and iPhone apps. The best OCCT alternative is AIDA64. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try Geekbench or Furmark. Other great apps like OCCT are Cinebench, UNIGINE Benchmarks, 3DMark and UserBenchMark.

What are some stability tests to ensure that your newly built PC is running fine? | Overclock.net

March 1, 2021 - OCCT large data set AVX2 for stability testing. Small data SSE for thermal / VRM testing. Seems to be pretty reliable for most use cases. If my system is stable in those 2 tests, it's stable in any other real world stress test (so P95 small FFT AVX and linpack xtreme not included).

r/overclocking on Reddit: Understanding OCCT

May 9, 2024 -

Can someone please explain why am I crashing on the CPU test with small dataset with all cores no matter the LLC and voltage?

Started to manually tune my r7 5700x, getting to 4.8GHz, no BSODs, games running, cinebench results (R23) satisfying at around 16500, so once I started decreasing voltage I'm now down to 1.3v drooping to 1.275-1.28v (LLC lv3) and it's passing everything except all core small dataset stress test.. Currently cycling cores with small dataset for 10 mins now, no errors so far. LLC LV2 with 1.325 set voltage gave 1.269 in cinebench but it crashed, 1.3 with llc 3 gives 1.275 and its not crashing.

So am I supposed to make it droop more? Or is it okay to just use small data set for single core and cycle them and use all core for medium/large dataset test?

Set parameters are small/extreme/variable/AVX2.

Motherboard I'm using is ASUS X470 prime pro, cooling the CPU with NH D15

I assume it shutdowns on account of thermals, since I can start the test with 8 threads fixed but once it reports close to 95° it just shuts down.

Is that a realistic workload, if thermals are the only problem and I KNOW I will never hammer the CPU with such a workload in real life, is it fine to ignore that test, or just to test up to a certain amount of cores?

It's basically p95 small FFT, among the heaviest tests you can run. p95 small FFT, OCCT small dataset, linX, Y-Cruncher all tests are the Heavy Quartet of Stresstesting. This is my 5800X on quite tuned PBO and a custom loop. https://imgur.com/a/fKYJhMJ Edit: just ran r23 to check settings and thermals and scored 16460... If you only ever are going to game just check that you can compile shaders in TLOU1 and UE5 games

STOP doing static OC, learn PBO, and move on..
