i7 Batch No# Overclock Database

[CryptiK]

Using a command line switch or batch file will load four, eight, (or whatever you want) threads. Several people use this and it works well so that's why I mentioned it...

Isn't the standard much better than one to two hours of prime?

Maybe this thread would be better served having both sockets together? This would help deduce which chips perform "better". Even if better is not higher clocks, but maybe lower heat, etc. I think having a socket type delimiter would be enough distinction for most folks. Unfortunately, with all the other 1336 i7 thread out there, without including the new chips this thread might fall by the wayside pretty quickly.

I wasn't aware people do that with orthos. I guess its fine so long as there's as many threads as cores/HT cores (HT on = 8 threads, HT off 4 threads).

Linx vs prime stability is a contentious issue. In mine and other experience Linx can pass, then fail Prime, sometimes in a lot less than 2 hours. For others its the reverse. I really just want some proof the OC's are somewhat stable, so a decent length of time for any real stress testing program on max stress should be fine for that purpose.

After some consideration, I agree I'd like to see a database for s1156 CPUs too, and I think this self updating format is the best way of doing this. I have added a socket designation field to the form, so s1156 CPUs can be added also. Thanks for the suggestion.
