Gigabyte EX58-UD5/Extreme Discussion Thread

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.

Prime stressed the MCH even less then linx, the only test program that i know that stressed the MCH to some point was memtest.

Thats why i still keep memtest in my test setup. I tested my setup for 7h linx stable and have no problem so far.


Sure there are people out there that run 12h+ prime linx etc. but what they get from that i dont know.

My system runs 12-14h a day when im home but far away from the stress levles linx puts on the system.

For myself i consider a system stable after 6h+ of linx, everything else is a waste of time in my eyes, cause it adds nothing to stability at my usage behaviour.

But the discussion about stability is as old as ocing itself.
