but maybe only 3 degrees at 4.0Ghz, 211 bclk (my settings), full load Linpack. Comes to my mind the word "electric fatigue" or, better, "PCB fatigue".

Pass, that's out of my field even coming to guess work

The key is that with Linpack we can achieve very quickly (generally) a system full Prime95 stable. But is not so fast to reach a system Linpack stable (although this is faster than achieving a stable prime95 system using only prime95). The problem is compounded if Linpack from a certain OC level begins to introduce abnormal errors due to its enormous and abnormal power.

Hmm, there doesn't seem to be a way to define exactly how long a linpack run = how long a prime95 run though. I've read for months and months that it beats out prime hands down and will do in a very short time what prime will do in 1-2 days, i'm just saying that in my opinion everyone that talks like this is hugely exaggerating. Unless my one test yesterday was a fluke

I also forgot for a while but my old QX9650 which was 26hr~ blend stable failed IBT (same thing as LinX really right?) in like 10 minutes. Gah why is everything so f***ing complicated.
