:thumbsup: Thank you for the facts!! This is exactly what I needed to see!! Karma points to you sir! If you lived in town I would take some of the money you saved me and buy you a beer.

Also, if you have input, I am looking for advice on how best to approach the 16GB solution... 4x4 or 2x8? My thread on the topic: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?p=32367247#post32367247 :)

Hi all, I have the Asus p8p67 deluxe, a 2600k, and a Mugen 3 cooler. Can anyone recommend a set of sticks that totals 16GB? Is it better to go with 4x4GB or 2x8GB? THanks! I would like to run them at 1866MHz, so DDR3-2000 is a good bet. I'll take 1600MHz if I have to. I am...

That's fine, I am back at 4.5 for the moment too. I downloaded that copy from mediafire - the results are the same with LinX trailing IBT by 11% or so (comparing GFlops). Separately, I am trying to understand better how/why my Vcc changes so much. During a long test: and...

Have you tried running IBT 2.5.2? I have found it to more consistently run at predictable GFlops. LinX has sometimes without apparent reason slowed down into the 70-80 range.

I am not sure why all my LinX scores are low compared to IBT. I have checked that both are the new versions (0.6.4 and 2.5.2), doubled checked by downloading new copies, got same results. Both are basically GUI wrappers for the same tool right? I am not sure what diagnostic test to do next...

I am a bit confused about what you think is worng... I just did this experiment: 2600k @ 4.7GHz, 4GB RAM@1333, Win7x64_sp1 Can any of you show me how this scales as we get into larger RAM sizes? This is a pretty easy experiment to run. I only have 4GB though. To me it looks asymptotic...

The offer is appreciated, but don't worry about it. I'll keep doing some experiments.

Done, and thanks for the BIOS tips in relation to T offsets. I toyed with my 4.5-4.9 range last night: below points are min Vcc to be stable for ~7 minutes of LinX_AVX (~100GFlops): And the same data, but max Temps: And here is the round-up of my Voltage offset data with...

Another day, another round of data to report: AVX does make a big difference! Data point on AVX results, only difference between these two runs was AVX or not. Results: LinX: No AVX: 51.2 Gflops, Tmax = 62 Yes AVX: 100.6 Glops, Tmax = 67 Quite a difference there, thanks for the nudge.

My first take on the AVX usage in LinX was that it's an unnecessary, artificial benchmark. Are there any mainstream applications that use AVX? I am already getting ~100Gflops in IBT, so that seems to be a good sign as a benchmark tool. No? Regardless, for you, I'll do it; AVX inbound...

Thanks for the confirmation and the correction (.08 != .008) My mobo software has a tool called Probe II but it seems to have the same .008 granularity. I do have a nice Fluke multimeter, if that is helpful at all? :\ All 3 of your data columns' #s are close to each other. I was...

I have started using AI Suite to more rapidly determine the stable cpu voltage for a given speed (GHz). I am seeing a mismatch in what I tell Turbo Evo to use as compared to what CPU-Z is reporting. CPU-Z reports only seem to vary in .08 voltage increments, so there is a bit of masked noise...

Pic taken while running BF3 beta last night on the other monitor. This CPU just chews it up and spits it out. 4 cores 8 threads of deliciousness. (Asus p8p67 deluxe, 2600k@4.7, 1.37v, GTX470sc, win7 x64) Now I need to think about a GPU upgrade... should I go SLI 470's? I am...
