40 hours of COD4, CODW@W, 2 TWL 5v5 matches and 2 pickup scrims and I run at the settings in my sig...not even a remote little stutter.

That's cool, did you ever try F4m? I got very measurable speed boosts, going from F4j.

I just dropped from 1.4v (what i needed for 4.2ghz stable on f4j with prime, 1 notch less was unstable) to 1.37v with linpack, and i'm currently on 15 passes. I read on another forum that 5 passes on linpack is enough to verify a small tweak, and 30-40 passes should be done for final settings. So either linpack is useless and i'm actually unstable, or this new bios has done the trick

I love linx because it tells me in half day, what prime used to tell me in days. I plotted out all my OC points, 4, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 with and without LLC enabled in half a day using linx 10 runs near max mem (and either second linx running with small mem same time or prime running to get 100% load). Using linx all my OC points are usually within 0, 1, or sometimes 2 notches of prime stable 12+hrs. Though new version runs 100% 2 instances by itself, using half mem.

I will always run prime 12 hrs runs, as I never crash when prime stable, so just works for me. But linx is speed king to getting preliminaries done quickly. Cant imagine having to use prime for quick runs anymore.

Yeah i think i will use it this way too, have you ever been linx stable and failed prime blend?
