Intel 4.5GHz & 5GHz LinX Stable Club

[CryptiK]

1 run linx stable doesn't mean anything.you call something stable according to a certain program if executing that program results in stable operation and this mean that it doens't crash,NEVER.period.
It doesn't exist stability if after 50 loops it crashes .That's what i was pointing at.Stability with a certain program exists if it never crashes no matter how long time it is left running. SO you cannot say i am 20 run linx stable.You can say that you can run 20 linx run without errors but to be able to say that you are linx or prime stable you must be able to leave those programs running an indefinite amount of time without having errors.Usually this time is estimated to be 10-12 hours for IBT/Linx . I don't understand why all this fuss about smth that is written on the very same readme of linx.Is this discovery putting in doubt the self esteem of some due to their e-penis not so rock-solid as they thought?

Ok I don't want to drag this out further, but I think this needs addressing. Firstly we acknowledge your point about the fact that ultimate stability is essentially unable to be proven as you would have to run the application/suite of applications indefinitely and even then you would say after 5 years be 'only' 5 years (insert application name here) stable.

Secondly, there seems to be a bit of language interpretation getting in the way here. You made the comment that an individual could say their machine is 'able to run 20 passes of LinX without error' and you then said an individual could not say their machine is '20 pass LinX stable'. I can tell you, and I am most certainly not being patronizing in any way here, that those 2 statements in english mean the same thing. '20 pass' is the qualifier to the statement 'LinX stable'. 'LinX stable' as a claim is only an absolute if it is not qualified by the number of passes, and when it is, it means it is only x passes LinX stable. All of us are only making the qualified and limited statement that our machines can run LinX at >/= 4.5GHz for 20 or more passes without error. We are most certainly not claiming absolute stability nor trying to achieve it.

Zalbard chose 20 passes at max mem settings because its hard to do, but not incredibly hard, and it takes a short enough amount of time for people to want to have a go. It's the perfect idea and requirements for a club so us guys can just have a bit of fun with the thousands of dollars worth of gear we all own and admire each others achievements.

I hope this clears things up for you.

Just picked up a 990x this evening.. just learning the Gulftown.. but looks like a keeper. I am able to boot into windows @ 5100mhz without any hassle hopefully I have enough left to make the 5ghz club at some point..

Can you please add me to the Gulftown table (I think I have everything):

needforspeed| Core i7 990X [6C 12T] @ 4835.5MHz | 1.535 | ASUS Rampage III Extreme | Water | 3045B094

That is awesome
