linx makes cpu much hotter than prime but i leave my room windows always open so its nice and cool in my room

Nice OC, time to go for FSB 450 with that Q6600.

LinX is a real CPU killer, you should try to use max problem size and max memory use, that way you put much more stress on your memory and MCH (NB) together with your CPU.

With the setup in the screenie below my CPU has a temp at ~65C and the MCH at ~42C (with a temp probe stuck inside MCH heatsink)


Hereīs a screenie with Q9650 / 500 / 4,0 / 2x1 HyperX PC9600@1000 / 555 15 / tRD10.

Stable with 50 loop LinX (max problem size and max memory use), Prime95 blend 2hrs and 30 loop (~2hrs) Crysis Assault Harbor@high.

If I go one step up or down with MCH ref LinX error with in 3min, kind of sensitive or what.



Now itīs time to leave XP (32bit) and go to Windows 7 (64bit) for some 2x2 and 4x2 ram test.
