do linx run for solid lol
prime just too easy
you can have 24 hours of prime n fail linx in a matter of minutes

**Alka Holic** · 11-22-2010, 07:43 PM

Did not take a screenshot. Linx did not tax my system as much as prime look at the temp differences. I know I only did 5 runs with IBT. I am getting ready to go to the movies. I will do 20 run Linx again tomorrow and post a screenshot.

**Alka Holic** · 11-22-2010, 08:34 PM

Sorry about the screenshot in that last post. I had SpeedStep and C States enabled when I did that Linx run, so that is not the correct core speed or multiplier. I ran the test at the same speed as the Prime 95 screenshot.

Did you use the updated Linpack files from intel? They released files back in march that take full advantage of the 980X. There's link in page 30 of the LinX thread.

Also, I think you were only running 6 threads, not 12.....with IBT, you have to set it manually

Still....looks like a very nice chip @ 4.6GHz with only 1.33V

**FlanK3r** · 11-23-2010, 12:52 AM

yes, with 1.33V is crazy....I topped at 4.6 GHz with AIR, but I needed 1.47V for it :-D (burning temps was about 100 C)

**deachus** · 11-23-2010, 06:43 AM

When you run LinX also make sure you select Max Memory. That IBT run says your only using 4096MB of memory were it says you have 4833MB available.

**Gautam** · 11-23-2010, 06:47 AM

That's a kickass chip.

Indeed, imagine at 1.70v

same on games zsamz you can linx prime and fail a heavy game

**Alka Holic** · 11-23-2010, 08:28 AM

Ok, When I get home I will perform a Linx run with the setting mentioned here. IBT will not let me select max settings. I get an error stating that I d not have enough memory. I will post a screenshot after I complete the Linx run. I will do 20 passes. I ran Prime for 42 hours.

Not using a swap file?

**Ccaution** · 11-23-2010, 11:12 AM

Very nice chip indeed - almost 100GFlops (@linx) on your everyday pc, that used to be sci-fi a few years ago!

This is a good chip

This is manufactured so late. Probably Intel has cooperated some of those improvements/goodies from 990x into these latest chips.

**godzzila** · 11-23-2010, 01:28 PM

good?

It is monster if can handle 4,6 GHz LinX under 1,4V real

My chip need 1,42V for 4600 MHz and i thought that is best

**Alka Holic** · 11-23-2010, 05:28 PM

Ok, I just completed a Linx run (20) with updated Linpack libraries dated:
Monday September 27, 2010. The Gflops went down compared to IBT. Disregard the clockspeed and multiplier becaues I have C States and Speedstep enabled. The actual clockspeed is 158.51 x 29 = 4596.96 ghz. I am going to try lowering the multiplier and use a higher blck.

**Alka Holic** · 11-23-2010, 05:48 PM

More info:

MB: Rampage 3 Extreme 1102 bios

Voltages:

CPU Load Line Calibration set to Auto
QPI Load Line Calibration disabled

Vcore: 1.34375 actual reading 1.336 with ROG
CPU PLL: Auto actual reading 1.812 with ROG
VTT: Auto actual reading 1.330 with ROG
DRAM: 1.64 actual reading 1.641 with ROG

I bought the processor from Microcenter this Sunday and they recieved the shipment on Thursday of last week.

**slaveondope** · 11-23-2010, 05:59 PM

PM me when you want to sell...............

**sniper_sung** · 11-23-2010, 07:58 PM

this is the best gulftown chip i've ever seen

Fantastic chip man, congrats!

For showing actual clock in CPU-Z you may try take screenshot when running LinX

Could you tell us wich Microcenter (city)?

**Alka Holic** · 11-24-2010, 05:45 AM

This time I got an error and bumped the vcore up to one notch -> 1.35. All other voltages are exactly the same as previously posted. The processor was bought at Microcenter in Bethesda Maryland. I think they have 4 or 5 left. I am not sure if they are they same batch and pack date.
