Realbench 2.54 issue?

[Rockenrooster]

So, one day I decided to check out realbench and see how it works as a stress tester/stability tester.
I noticed that when running the x264 encoding benchmark it finishes with a "Video Encoding error!" with a score and time of "0".
This is with a R5 1600 @ stock and at 3.7 1.265v.
I've run Cinebench, IBT, prime95, even left it encoding my family videos overnight (x264), all without crashing before I found Realbench.
I even reinstalled windows 10 with a fresh iso and still get the same issue.
I even tried putting 1.30v at stock 3.2 and running my ram at 2133 @ 1.35 and still nope.
Temps never exceed 70c

In Realbench 2.43 I get zero errors on the same benchmark.


System specs:
MOBO: ASrock x370 Killer sli/ac latest BIOS (2.50) agesa 1.0.0.6 or whatever
CPU: Ryzen 1600 @ stock (and 3.7 1.265v occasionally.)
RAM: Team Vulcan 2x16GB 3000 1.35v 16 18 18 @ 2933
GPU: 290X 17.6.2
PSU: Thermaltake (toughpower?) bronze 750w

What are your experiences with Realbench 2.54?
Is there a known issue with Realbench 2.54 with Ryzen or something?

Anyone experienced this issue at all?

I'm not running real bench so no issues. But I have seen posts of others that say that they have problems with real bench, Johan45 on this forum said to skip real bench.

I would blame the motherboard first, ryzen is still immature, in that own thread the guy with issues with RB was still crashing and totally system froze with AVX enabled IBT at stock.. so there's another issue there not only RB.

Thanks for your replies. I havent had any crashes at all with my system, so I guess its just an issue with Realbench not liking Ryzen.

There us a diffrence between testing you CPU and testing you system.. most people forget that when they do stress testing

I've run Cinebench, IBT, prime95, even left it encoding my family videos overnight (x264), all without crashing before I found Realbench.
These are all CPU based testing meani you system only has to provide stable power for you CPU and other small compontes, as well as you only really get heat from the CPU in your system
Realbench test you SYSTEM that means you GPU is also drawing power so both power draw and more heat is beeing generated making it harder for you PSU/mobo abnd coling componetns to to thier job compared to your previosly tested tools

So yes i've sene it plenty of times that people teste thier CPU and then is unstable in as ystemwide load like games. Mostly in their ignorence they blame the CPU testing software for not always show errors. but in reality it because they dont know what they test and how the system works.


Here is data form my streeststing software test

Core I7 2700K       4.4GHz +0.030v           4.4GHz +0.20v           4.5GHz +0.20v           4.6GHz +0.20v           4.7 +0.20v
           Status   temp   Power       Status   temp   Power       Status   temp   Power       Status   temp   Power
Asus RealBench       OK   79-84   318w*       OK   80-85   318w       OK   80-87   303-319/326   C  0:22   76-83   xxx/325       C 0:00   XX-XX   xxx/315
Prime95 28.5 (small)   OK   79-89   212w       OK   80-90   211w       C 1:52       xxx/219       C  0:00 63-72   xxx/214       C 0:00   xx-xx   xxx/215

As you can see Prime95 did find the CPU errors where Realbench did not. so prime is better at finding CPU errors.
but realbench is pulling out a LOT more wattage through that PSU and mobo so it could find instabilty in those areas where prime95 would not
