Intel 4.5GHz & 5GHz LinX Stable Club

[CryptiK]

You should rename this thread, since 20 runs with Lynx is not stable by any mean!!Just read the readme included with the installation programand you will see that to call a system really Lynx stable you need at least 50-100 runs.In my experience it has to be more than 250 since i had crashes up to 243 run.Cheers
You should also post requirements for sr-2 users.If you set all the ram it will become unbareably slow since (it is my guess) every core will try to use the memory of the other cpu which is a way slower access than to his own memory bank. Secondly with sr-2 setups using 16(for double quad corexeon) or 24threads(for double exacore) is not a good stability check since in this way every thread is confined to a single core and you don't test the stability of the qpi between the cpus.Hence 32 threads testing is required since in this way you have threds jumping from one core to the other and from one cpu to the other and in this way you can test also the qpi between cpus.
Thirdly you should use your chipset connected devices to check if chipset too is "Lynx stable".For example QPI crapping after 7000 GT/s does not show up very evidently in Lynx testing if you don't play an audio sample and listen with your ears if there are stutters n the audio while for example testing lynx and listening to an audio file( i suggest clean audio samples like classical music since in this way you will be able to spot even the smallest stutters in the audio due to qpi crapping.Cheers and happy stability session to everybody

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?

for my taste this is a little bit too much vcore.. have to play around

[newhit]

Nobody said it was ultimately stable, Its just a club & 20 loops is the minimum required to enter & a heck of a lot better than most people even need for there home rig. I've run plenty rigs that would fail such tests but never crash etc with my daily use. If you want to do more loops go for it & if you want to run other tests why don’t you start a stock speed database or an OC DB & spend hours & hours of your time maintaining it like Zalbard does.

BTW didn’t see your entry why don’t you post up your 250+ loop entry

That's on the button for me C-N.

Like the reference to posting 250 loops.

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.....)

New formatting draft, still experimenting. Too bad the code window is so damn narrow. Wish I could change the width.

And what is this "Lynx" you keep talking about?

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
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:

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



now go play some classical music and run 5000000000000001.32 passes of LinX to test for QPI stability

[Grinchy]

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.

[zalbard]

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.

[Grinchy]

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

[radaja]

:
but the tag "linx stable" is not correct.that'sall. Cheers to everybody

even if you run just 1 run its is technically LinX stable,but just 1 run LinX stable.
and since his thread is not called the "Intel 4.5GHz & 5GHz 250 run LinX Stable Club"
but rather "Intel 4.5GHz & 5GHz LinX Stable Club" then its titled correctly.
bye bye now

[Grinchy]

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?

[donmarkoni]

You are so stubborn!

How would you feel I if came and started rearranging furniture around your house???

Leave this club alone.

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..

Nice!

But no, you can't join our club. Must be 12,400 loops stable. See you next year
