2600k and p8p67 deluxe - any bets? any advice?

[MadScientist]

This version of LinX has the latest linpack files. The same that IBT 2.52 uses.

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 towards 125-ish. I could believe that I could get up to the 125-130 range if I push up the volts some more and start to actually push my RAM (DDR3-2000)

I screwed up and ran the tests at 4.5GHz, can repeat them at 4.7GHz if you prefer that instead of these.

2GB = 116.8222 GFlops
4GB = 122.5291 GFlops
14.2GB = 126.7383 GFlops

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 then later, zoomed in - the high plateaus are LinX/IBT runs, the lower parts are mostly idle and web browsing. Does this behavior look reasonable to you all?

Also, if you have input, I am looking for advice on how best to approach the 16GB solution... 4x4 or 2x8?
