i shouldn't have too, that's the issue...

i'm on water, temps are fine... i can't seem to use any QPI voltage between 1.33 and 1.38v... it BSOD's on every segment between that range. can't seem to boot @ or above 1900mhz on memory. i DO have 12gb of memory but with what memory it is and what cpu i'm using i shouldn't be having the issues i am with a 980x + (6x2) Dominator-GT's... none of them are defective either and it's really irritating. i SHOULD be able to get 4.5 on cpu and 2000 on memory but it just wont do it... critical errors left and right so whatever... and i don't trust LinX anymore... EVERYTHING else i have to stress test with passes the 4.3ghz / 1880mhz setup and does it solid for nearly 24 hours straight... yet LinX thinks it's not stable... i don't trust it... specially when it's not exactly putting 100% load because i get nearly 15% more power consumption when testing with Prime.

how much memory are you testing with prime?

the default is 1600mb which will explain why you pass it, you are only testing a small percentage of the total memory. do a custom run using more mem and it will probably fail if linx does.

IMO that is the only reason blend passes and linx fails (not enough mem selected), on older platforms where 2 or 4gb was the norm linx required a little less voltage to pass, and on my x58 if i set custom blend and use more memory blend is still harder to pass. using the latest version 26.xx i bsod in blend on a linx stable system, 4500mhz.
