I've maintained this whole time that LinX is by far a better stress tester than Prime. Prime can pass 24 hours while LinX still fails after a short period of time. I've seen this behavior in the last four CPU's I've owned. I'm quite convinced that people like you bash it because you can't pass it stable. Complete denial of the fact that your OC is not stable.

Now you guys are fronting like a bunch of kids. Clearly I use 200 LinX loops to test my stability, as seen in my screenshots. I asked sergio to prove his OC with 500 loops max mem. If you guys can't see that he's deflecting instead of proving, well I feel sorry for you. If he were truely stable, this conversation would have been over long ago when he posted his screenshot.

I thought XS would be a haven for people who were serious about overclocking, but instead I find another forum full of fanboys defending their false champions.
You have very little experience with a c2q it seems. Using LinX, my cpu require less vcore to pass than when testing with blend. This was not the case with my e8400. If you go back a few pages and read you will see where several other had the same findings.

You started insulting people in your first post in this thread by stating that we use spi as a means of stability testing. You have shown no respect to the guys who have spent months oc'ing these cpu's and posting results in this thread, in return you will receive the same. You then dictate to us the definition of stability and imply that anything that differs from this is not acceptable to you (like we care). All anyone was trying to say in the beginning before you went off the deep end was that your board, however nice it may be was not designed for overclocking a c2q, that you would have better results on a more appropriate board for the job.
