IntelBurnTest - The new stress-testing program

[mazzy]

Great Little program.
I'm still trying out to see how sensible is it.
I'm using Vista Business x64 SP1 with 8GB, Q6600 GO VID 1.3000 @ 3.1GHz.

I can report that using Max I get lower GFlop numbers and much lower CPU stress, CPU Temp (with Real/CoreTemp) report around 55C using custom with 6000-6500MB or mid settings I get 68-69C.

After first fews runs look like prime95 but more stressfull, cpu temps are nearly 10C hotter:

Running low memory high numbers -> Small FFT
Running mid memory high numbers -> Large FFT
Running high memory mid numbers -> Blend.

Sometimes I get a slight different residual in the first round of test (5 test) but nothing in the next 2-3 rounds.

I've tested my new rig without any problem at 3.1GHz 1.2875V 24h prime95 (latest beta), a mix of prime95/3DMark03 for 12h, Othos/OCCT whatever I've throw at it, stable like a rock, after the first round of LinPack in 5 min I've uncover that my CPU is not stable, up the vcore a notch, nearly stable, at vcore=VID=1.3 look stable.

My goal is 3.0Ghz so I've attained it, yes not extreme, but it'll be my main rig and I want absolute stability, without pushing too far.

BTW the q6600 GO are an absolute steal, not as fast as penryn clock-for-clock, but less problem with the board, mature process 65mm, more cheap, the next big things is the tock version of i7 (aka Nehalem) next summers not the penrys
