Why is it so hard to get Linx stable? I got a 2500K running fine on 5.0Ghz, IntelBurnTest and everything else without a hiccuup. Right now i'm running Linx at 4.6Ghz and I just hope it will be stable. Can anyone explain this staggering difference?

You're going to get a lot of technical reasons but basically, LinX is a B**CH.
PS
And I'm not saying Prime is easy either.
Depending on which version of IBT you are using. Its because LinX linpack library is updated more offten and has support for your cpu. IBT has been out dated for awhile.Quote:

Lynx is supposed to be running on the 21st loop.
You probably should restart an launch CPUz before anything else so you get a voltage reading. 1.57.1 should be able to show your volts.
1.57.1 still isn't showing voltages.
Sorry for not reading the update.
I will do another run going into the 21+ loop.
You have something interfering with it. Mine works if CPUz is the first thing I start after bootup.
I'm also wondering why so little ram. 2gb on a triple channel system? See rule 3.

@LennyRhys:
Zoson can be very blunt in his comments, but he is absolutely right.
Check others' results to see what your performance and heat output should be at those settings.
My performance is more-or-less the same as angelreaper (to name but one) who also used the 25 multi for his i7 970 4.5GHz run. What's more, I have low memory frequency so the throughput just isn't going to be as high. But this thread has nothing to do with performance... it's a frequency club.
And what zoson says is not true at all - his remark that LinX "doesn't really stress" a CPU is about the stupidest thing a person could say in a thread like this - LinX is a monster of a test for any CPU, HT or no HT. :yepp:
As far as heat output is concerned, this is an interesting one. For starters, nobody can point at a result and say "your temps should be different." That's crass - my temps are what they are; I didn't choose them or make them myself, so how can I be expected to change them?! LOL really... I did read around a bit and found that the linpack library stresses the CPU very differently from Prime95. The Prime95 mindset is a very logical one: more threads equals more heat; however LinX doesn't appear to work like that.
And it's worth mentioning that other people have used very high bclk for their runs, and that will make a chip much hotter due to the necessary increas in VTT.
Before it all kicks off.............

Attachment 117420
What I was saying is there is something wrong with YOUR machine (and angelreaper's too, along with anyone else who has low performance for their frequency) and you are not actually stressing your cpu fully with YOUR linx run. Done right linx stresses the hardest. Done wrong you see low GFlops like you and angelreaper.Quote:
Originally Posted by LennyRhys

Memory frequency does make a difference, but I've posted many shots showing that the actual difference in GFlops between 1600mhz and 2000mhz is small. At most you'll see a 5GFlop difference, with the average being 2-3GFlops.
Yes, this is a club for frequency stability. You're not stable if you're not performing right. Sure if you're running at 4.7ghz and you're only using 50% of your clock cycles, you're going to appear to be stable. Your cpu won't heat up as much as it should, and as a result the internal resistance of your transistors doesn't go up as much as it would if every cycle were used. If you fixed what's causing your low GFlops, you'd probably crash or overheat.
There's nothing wrong with my machine - just realised that I don't have the updated linpack libraries, so I apologise for the confusion.
Since updating the linpack executables I did a quick run at 4.5GHz (180x25) and I get 73 gflops consistently; it does run hotter but it's stable.Quote:
If you fixed what's causing your low GFlops, you'd probably crash or overheat.
I'll see how far I can push on air and resubmit later this evening.
Edit: Here is 4.5GHz. Air temp is nearly 5C higher than yesterday which made a significant difference to load temps, but my trusty Delta still kept them under 80C. If air temp gets lower I'll give 4.6GHz a bash.

@kazukun:
Why so high VccIO? It is more likely to kill a chip then high vCore.
I see alot of people arguing about Gflops vs performance at a given speed/cpu. Have you guys read this. http://www.overclock.net/intel-cpus/...test-linx.html I have done my testing and with my cpu it has been true.
Also have notice while overclocking and testing. If a system is unstable, I have had it pass 15 runs of linX with LOW gflops then what it should be. Stopped the test and rerun it and had it crash after second round. Readjust voltages and this time would pass with the correct gflops and pass.
Yeah, it's a good guide, have been mentioned before. Nonetheless, it's good to remind everybody of it. :up:Quote:

I don't think it's fair to say that every LinX run with low gflops is indicative of instability; many of the hexcore CPU users (like me) have run the older version of LinX, either because that's all there was at the time or because they were unaware of the updates, so although the gflops are low the system isn't necessarily unstable. I updated the library and ran LinX at 4.5GHz without changing voltages from my previous 4.5GHz run and passed no problem, albeit with higher temps.
At the end of the day, zalbard decided on 20 passes with LinX as a measure of stability, not gflops or anything else. I think it should be for each person to decide themselves what they submit; 20 passes is 20 passes, stable or not.
Got another, if it's OK?

Hang on, zoson hit 100 GFLOPS at ~4.6GHz on the 970 (Link), and this is 5.1GHz and its at 110 GFLOPS, seems like some performance is lacking for some reason or is it just not scaling up in that CPU speed range?
Really impressive OC though, you are thrashing that 990x :D
Zoson got 100 gflops because of the relatively high bclk & memory frequency - compare it to my run, and the lower bclk/memory costs about 3-4 gflops, even though my CPU clock was higher.
If kitfit1 had 5GHz on a 23x CPU multi, gflops would be through the roof :yepp:
You are right, it's not scaling very good over 4.5-4.6GHz. I don't know why, maybe some internal throttling mechanism, OVP, OCP, or something.Quote:

Here is the scaling from my experience 4560MHz/100GFLOPS, 4800MHz/103GFLOPS, 4900MHz/105GFLOPS, 5000MHz/107GFLOPS (an you won't see this picture, cause I never managed to pass all 20 loops :( )
No they would not, they would be the same. There are many topics about running higher BCLK with lower multis or lower BCLK with higher multis.Quote:

Yep......................just about what i found as well. So far i've had a 920,975 and the current 990x. All of them scale the same as far as Gflops are concerned.Quote:
Originally Posted by donmarkoni

Obviously i could post a higher Gflop value at a lower cpu clock, but as the clock was done just to get higher than 100 gflops and over 5ghz it would be pointless.
At 4.5GHz I pulled just shy of 98Gflops, and at 4.6 I get just barely over 100. So I gained like 2.2GFlops for 99MHz(4512 -> 4611).
I'm currently working on a 4.74GHz run, and am pulling just shy of 103GFlops, so that's around another 2.7Gflops or so, which is also right in line, since I gained 130MHz this time instead of just 100.
Anyway, if we estimate 2.2GFlops per 100Mhz, and kitfit is 500Mhz above my last official submission... That's literally about 111GFlops expected. I think he did pretty nicely with 110GFlops at 5.1GHz. The discrepancy of 1GFlop is easily margin of error (less than 1% difference!!!).
I also run with ~5.4GB ram and he does 5.12GB, which can also make a small difference in GFlops.

Interesting testing some_one. I'm just curious how big of a GFlops performance hit you get when monitoring with RealTemp. I have tried to keep RealTemp nice and lean so hopefully not too much. Monitoring programs that show the data graphically usually require more CPU cycles. It should be hard to notice much of a performance difference when RealTemp is minimized to the system tray.
I did that test before, on Gulftown. Difference with or without RealTemp is under 1 GFLOPS. And that is when it's not minimized, with refresh at default 1 second. I'm very happy with it. :)Quote:

As donmarkoni said, the CPU hungry apps can be run at the end if desired for the SS.
The performance difference is insignificant (from my experience).Quote:

My best using the new Linpack compared to my previous post. Drop in Girlyflops for 8 threads but no bios changes
OOPS!.........forgot to say that I did change my ram to Gskill Ripjaws

Hi Guys,
my friend just bought a new computer with a 2600k and a p67 sabertooth.
we overclocked his processor to 5ghz and 1.45V. But what concern me is that he gets only around 60gigaflop in Linx.... its almost half the speed im getting with mine.
We dont know whats causing this. This is mostly a BIOS Setting but we cant find it.... and you cant seem to disable turbo mode on this motherboard, which is weird.
Can someone with the same motherboard help us??
Thanks.
he needs windows 7 sp1Quote:

I was going to try and do better with this chip, but decided to go back to my 970... Figured I may as well submit my 4.5GHz HT on result, since I don't have any results with HT on. Interesting beast, this chip. Its core is much better than either of my two 970's, but the uncore is not as good.
I ran this OC 24/7!

Hey guys, my first ever submission for the LinX stable club! Also, my first time water-cooling, and first time overclocking. I'm pretty happy with my results, hope you guys are too!

I don't actually use TurboV to change settings, just to monitor them from the OS. When I first started OC'ing yesterday I changed something and hit apply, and it froze my system. About 5 mins of Google search revealed at least half a dozen other forum threads with people saying they blew up their CPU thanks to TurboV. Since then I've done it the slow way, BIOS overclocking.
The voltages in the left half of the TurboV window (not the ones in the monitor strip on the right) are what they are set to in the BIOS, The only ones I've set manually are BCLK Frequency, CPU Voltage, QPI/DRAM Core Voltage, DRAM Bus Voltage, and IOH. The rest are all on (Auto).
I got to where I am now basically by following guides and trial and error. Whenever I bump up either the multiplier or BCLK it wont boot and I don't know which voltages I need to tweak, and how much, to get it to work at 5GHz. Can anybody here who is familiar with rampage BIOSes lend me a hand?
Your overclock is not stable at all.Quote:

Gah, really? Can you help me fix that at all? Or direct me somewhere? I thought everything was fine, like I said, i'm completely new to this, and I really don't understand what any of the numbers mean.Quote:
