Sandy Bridge FPO Batch list (Excell sheet)

I am testing now under LinX. Something is gotta be wrong with Prime. That :banana::banana::banana::banana: is vcore hungry and I need to put at least 1.36 to pass that crappy test. I have no issues passing LinX or IBT though and my system been stable for days, 24/7. I really think prime might be outdated or smth.

For LinX to maximise stress you need to have 1) 64Bit OS 2) if possible Win7 with Service pack 1 3) Latest Linx version... you will see similar Vcore demands then... But if it's linX stable you are already well on track ...

Most likely combination of more powerful fans, much cooler ambient and a different motherboard. I must admit though that I never tried 50x LinX with my Biostar either.

afaik i can tell linx works with HT off and HT on is bugged
and HT off vcore is the same as HT on - tested on 5 procs already

so test 50 runs++ of HT off. ( take note HT off temps are higher than HT on )

and then tweak with fft's 12 prime and blend with mem atleast 3600mb in diagnostic mode

Have you tried setting LinX to run on 4 threads? Should work just as well.

4 threads = more load than 8 for 2600k/HT->ON.

My CPU wasn't actually stable at 4.6Ghz with the settings in the OP. It would pass Linx and Prime95 for hours, no problem, but crash when playing a movie! Will report back when I am stable at 4.6Ghz, as that's my goal with my SB :)

Posting this for batch info.

Okay guys updated, thx for the input !!
