However, it's also a very useful tool for checking the stability of a CPU and memory. In the enthusiast world, Linpack is a benchmark designed to measure performance on Intel CPUs in GFlops. The main stability test used was Linpack (LinX version 0.6.4) with memory usage set to 2,048MB and 20 loops run. We did stability testing a little differently for the Sandy Bridge-E platform than usual. Experienced Overclocker - To represent an experienced overclocker that is looking for the optimal 24/7 overclock to maximize system performance while keeping voltage and temperatures in check we overclocked the Sabertooth X79 manually and stopped when we started to get concerned with voltage levels and temperatures.Beginner Overclocker - To represent a beginner overclocker or a mainstream user that wants to have a quick and easy way to get some extra performance we used the OC Tuner setting found in the UEFI BIOS.A second GTX 470 was also added for SLI testing.Īt Hardware Canucks, we understand we have a diverse reader base and to represent a variety of user types, so we put the Sabertooth X79 through two types of tests. As you can see we used watercooling (Apogee XT) for the CPU along with two heatercores.
First we have the whole test bench up and running.
