LinX - A simple Linpack interface

[Fritz_the_germ]

Thank you Dua|ist.
I Just installed und tried your latest version. Everything works out fine.

@slim142,
you are right. I have got yor on the wrong side. Sorry for that

An installer is always nice, I tried the installer version 0.6.2.1 and the about screen is bugged, its very bright and translucent.

[Dua|ist]

GigaByte,
My bad, this was just some experimenting, and I assumed that if it works under Win7, it will also work under vista. I was wrong, it seems. I'll fix it in the next release, I hope you can live with this for a while.

system looks less stable with 0.6.2..
had to bump vcore by 0.01v to pass 3 runs
0.6.0 was last version i tested.

thx 4 the update!

Refreshing and modern? Or stupid and useless?

P. S. Sorry for the red glass color. It just matches the wallpaper well.

[gugle]

have some table with the errors and their causes due ?

thanks

Great! I like multicolored stuff!
Let us use it when you already made it. Maybe some option to choose standard or other color.

[slim142]

I like it, but sometimes red is not a good color when your pc shows is not estable haha

Generally, if it's just non-matching residuals then it is most likely a cpu, especially when the difference is small, say, starting in 2nd or 3rd digit. If it bluescreens or freezes then it is probably something else (northbridge, uncore, maybe memory too). But it's still speculation, there are no exact symptoms.

dejanh, donmarkoni, slim142,
Thanks for your responses regarding glass. I thought it'd be worse. I'm really thinking to make it an option for Vista/Win7 users.

Whoooooooo i want itttttttt!

I can't believe this... Why couldn't it last another 2 minutes?

Anyway, would you guys say that my temps and Vcore are okay for this processor (q9550, 1.392V)?



Unfortunately my pc has to stay under my desk where a huge hot air pocket accumulates whenever I run the test so temps are toastier than they should be.

80C is HOT O.o but I run my X3370 (Q9650) at significantly higher vcore, and no issues so far (a couple months at 4.2 stable). Cooling needs to be better - time for a box fan?

[adpr_02]

What vcore do you use?

If I pull my pc from under the desk, temps drop 6-8C, so not much I can do in terms of cooling. During Prime I don't reach higher than 62C and idles are at 38C, but I do have a rather high ambient at 27C.

nice work Dualist!
Honestly I was really surprised when noted that guys here also use LinX to check OC stability. I am glad that your interface became so popular Keep it up!

I wouldn't say 80C is that high. I mean, it's Linpack, one would hardly get 60-65C in any other software with those settings. But it's a matter of personal preference.

nice work Dualist!

Thanks. You can't imagine how surprised I was when noted that someone uses LinX.

i like this test stability, good job!

Nice! Please release this I love it.

does this program stress memory hard? I tighted my memory timmings and it passed memtest86+ 211 for 3 hours but it failed at pass 2 in LinX with max memory 5GB, if I change the memory timmings back, it will pass fine

I think you just answered that question yourself. For processors with integrated memory controller like i7 Linpack might be very stressful memory-wise, I guess. This only makes it more universal which is good IMO.

[FlanK3r]

stress to CPU Northbridge? (i have Phenom II)

Maybe. (I don't have Phenom II ).

[RPGWiZaRD]

Very nice program, first time I'm trying it because my Gigabyte P35 DS4 either got corrupt bios or died on me so switched motherboard to my backup Abit IP35 Pro. Turned out to VERY quickly error out if voltages weren't enough. It's like Orthos could run several hours but LinX fail after 2 or 3 passes of the default test settings! Saves so much time.

Certainly the stress test of choice from now on.

[gvansly1]

I have not searched the posts for this question.....but I'm getting a "Stopped upon error after 3 m 40 s!"

Is this a vcore, vtt issue or somwthing else? No BSOD or lockups ...
