Then, in a desparate attempt to show everyone that they have a good chip, they claim that prime and LinX are not good stress testers because they are stiill able to play games with their chip...
The problem seems to be when person A takes the time to stress test using linx and blend to assure his clocks are stable. Then person B comes along that didnt go through all the trouble, or didnt pass but still runs his rig at high clocks because he can game or do whatever without issue, so he says "stable". Person A seems to take offense to this but, it isnt a contest. Hats off to the guy who passsed all tests with flying colors, this Bud's for you, but no need to frown upon person B because he didnt, or chose not to go through the headache, or has a chip that wont pass all the "required" tests but is still able to enjoy his high clocks. Its not person A's responsibility to project his standards onto person B, cant we all just get along lol.
