All we were testing for prime, occt and Linpack in the socket 775 discovered that Linpack quickly discovered the errors in vcc and vdimm, but NO the errors in MCHv. I think things like that happen too in 1366. It is necessary to do tests with everything.
Perhaps one of the most interesting problems that introduces Linpack is the effect of the heat. My hard drive is still dead, but my system is resurrected. Unplugged the hard drive, and left the system at idle for several hours (accidentally), and to my surprise everything is back to being as before.
I have made many tests to understand exactly what happened, and I discovered that switching off only one of my three Noctua that blow to the board, i need automatically to increase a notch the IOHv to pass Linpack test. Linpack, because of the enormous stress of heat it produces, and not only because of the electrical stress, has shown me a direct and immediate impact between a couple of degrees plus or minus and the stability of my system as never before saw overclocking socket 775. However, it is very difficult for me to know whether the main reason for this discovery are my OC values, or is the x58 architecture, or is the Gigabyte Extreme ...
