Agree with C-N, it's just a hurdle to jump over with our machines, and it's fun. More than 20 is just getting silly as Leeg said, but 20 is hard enough to make this a fun challenge not everyone can manage.

Why don't you start your own club, then? See how many people want to run 250 loops while sitting at the PC and carefully listening to the music for hours at a time looking for stutters (and do you want them to post 10+ hour recordings of their music playback?)...
I think my requirements are reasonable. Seeing as I've got around 200 people join, I guess I'm not the only one thinking that way. ;)
You are posting a lot of assumptions about an SR-2 setup. Looks like you don't have one. So why are you so bothered?
Let's not discuss what's stable and what's not here. I've never claimed ultimate stability. Just sufficient one. :) I think this discussion belongs to a different thread.
And what is this "Lynx" you keep talking about? :D
wanna also join :D

for my taste this is a little bit too much vcore.. have to play around ;)
That's on the button for me C-N.
Like the reference to posting 250 loops.:clap:
PS
Further to the above I've now been running LinX for two and a half hours and am just passing 180 loops. I would post pics but my computer has flatly refused to have anything to do with me and is only continuing because I have threatened to force installation of a floppy disk drive (errrr, not that there is anything wrong with floppies.....:eek:;))
New formatting draft, still experimenting. Too bad the code window is so damn narrow. Wish I could change the width. :(

@zalbard: i passed now linx with 5,2ghz. should i edit my post above or should i post the screens again ?
ok, thx for the quick reply :D
here we go: :up:

You don't need to listen to music for the 250 loops run,just play couple of times a clean music mp3 while testing to check qpi stability. Mine are not assumptions anyway but based on real experience. You say let's not discuss what's stable and what's not here,but the name of your thread is "Intel 4.5 GHZ & 5 GHZ LINX STABLE CLUB". SO i was pointing out that your requirements don't give any warranty of Lynx stability,since IF you had read the readme.txt in Lynx you would have seen that to call stable a system at least 50-100 passes with all logical cores at work are needed. I say that this discussion belongs to this thread :p:
This is the link to my build in evga modrigs if you are interested.Later when my scandisk finishes on my desktop i will post the screenshot you asked as proof that i own such system even if yours seems just a childish provocation.Infact i don't understand how my statements would be less right even if i was running a downclocked pentium pro since before quoting my experience i quoted the readme included with the installer of lynx:
http://www.evga.com/ModsRigs/detail.aspx?BuildID=22992
dude stop being a tard and at least acknowledge that it is the "LinX" stability club and not "Lynx", we are talking about a program that tests for stability, not this
http://www.nisd.net/ward/Staff/gt_pa.../lynx-baby.jpg
now go play some classical music and run 5000000000000001.32 passes of LinX to test for QPI stability:D
Number of passes depends upon ho powerful the system is.I talked about 250 passes for my system.i should have been more precise and talk about time.10-12 hours is the time that is needed to really call a system linx stable. Secondly loudsilence it is not me the tard cause i make a typo, if you want to spot a tard go check your comment under your pic.I didn't sya you got to listen music for 1010101010 hours just a couple of times while testing and 10-12 hours is not unreasonable as stabilty testing time.Of course if your purpose is just to have your selfesteem enhanced by the illusion of being linx stable go on like this otherwise show a bit more respect and reply with arguments and not with dubious taste names calling.
What do you want me to do, then? Rename the thread to "Intel 4.5GHz & 5GHz LinX Seemingly Stable Club"?
You can still run 250 passes and join the club, btw. 20 is just the minimal accepted number.
"Reasonable" stability testing time varies from person to person, btw. Some think that doing more than 5 is unreasonable. I am personally content with 20-25. I don't run anything even remotely as stressful as LinX during the normal usage.
I still don't see why you don't start your own club instead of changing this one. It is much easier since I am not really inclined to change the rules.
:ROTF:
i don't know the thread is yours :) maybe just raise the requirements to the ones suggested by the readme...and you will see that your club will become even more exclusive :) and that lot of skills in settting will be required other than a good chip.For example for those who run evga mbs it will be needed to mess with signal tweaks once they pass a certain bclck,with ich settings( to give stability to usb or devices connected to the chipset) and so on. dobroi vicer :)
edit:Then don't change anything.thread is yours...but the tag "linx stable" is not correct.that'sall. Cheers to everybody
1 run linx stable doesn't mean anything.you call something stable according to a certain program if executing that program results in stable operation and this mean that it doens't crash,NEVER.period.
It doesn't exist stability if after 50 loops it crashes .That's what i was pointing at.Stability with a certain program exists if it never crashes no matter how long time it is left running. SO you cannot say i am 20 run linx stable.You can say that you can run 20 linx run without errors but to be able to say that you are linx or prime stable you must be able to leave those programs running an indefinite amount of time without having errors.Usually this time is estimated to be 10-12 hours for IBT/Linx . I don't understand why all this fuss about smth that is written on the very same readme of linx.Is this discovery putting in doubt the self esteem of some due to their e-penis not so rock-solid as they thought?
You are so stubborn! :down:
How would you feel I if came and started rearranging furniture around your house???
Leave this club alone. :slap:
Just picked up a 990x this evening.. just learning the Gulftown.. but looks like a keeper. I am able to boot into windows @ 5100mhz without any hassle hopefully I have enough left to make the 5ghz club at some point..
Can you please add me to the Gulftown table (I think I have everything):
