You can read all about throttling in the P6T Dlx thread, and the special bios from Asus. Basically the motherboard lovers your cpu clock when temp/stress get high enough. This is not what most people here want, as it gives you less performance.

And, the reason why people react to a screenshot of LinX with low mem is quite understandable. When we browse theese threads and see different screenshots, we automatically assumes quite a lot just by glancing at the pictures.

A shot of just cpu-z makes us assume this is max of what the cpu can do, maybe stable enough to boot windows, but not even stable enough to run superpi 1m.
A shot of superpi 1m, not that much more stable than cpu-z, but some.
And the list goes on, with superpi 32m, hyperpi etc.
At the bottom of this list is LinX and Prime, showing them usually means your at a quite stable oc. The longer they have run, the better proof of stability.

Showing LinX with 756/1024 mb of ram, its just a let down. Most people don’t use LinX that way (cause it makes no sense), and have no feel for how far off from a stable oc you are - hence no real info.

And, your right. No screenshot of Prime or LinX can guarantee stability, but it’s an accepted standard for comparing and sharing info about steppings and oc on the net, and most people can get valuable info from it.
