pound the crap out of the memory controller. Prime doesn't do it as well as linpack...plain and simple Steve. 10000 work load and 700mb of memory is not utilizing the app at all.

Hit that "ALL" button, get the work load above 15000 and your memory usage using as much as possible and linx will actually be doing its job.

This post in particular Steve. You absolutely need to run this app properly to get it's benefits.

10000 and 750+mb of usage is not strenuous at all

ok - so here is 4.2 ht on compare of LinX at default (1st screen shot) vs LinX set to "ALL".
I had to increase the cpuv to get the "ALL" case to complete by 0.05V.
Temps did go way up, even under the Boreas - from 56C to 70V - a 14C increase in thermal load!
