IntelBurnTest v1.9 Further Improves PC Stability Testing Linpack by Intel(R) is an extremely stressful program that will put even the most powerful X86/X64 CPU in the world at its knees. Load temp under Linpack will be up to 22*C higher than the competing software Prime95. This program will make usage of Linpack easier and more practical.

It's a nice program to determine quickly if ya CPU can hold up BUT : 1) It's best tested under 64bit OS conditions 2) It's not that conclusive on NB and ram stability 3) Stresses CPU way to far, so users with inadequate cooling can damage their hardware 4) Claim for 8 minute testing is totally ridicilous as with 4-6Gb ram and max ram test you run what ? 5 intenerations...prgram creators tell to le the users run at least 20 itenerations ( which o my rig still corresponds to at least 30 minutes of hardware torture) |
My T7200 hits the sweet 100°C mark after even 3 iterations :) Kinda funny to see such CPU temp. |
E1200 @ 22°C room temp hits 60°C under load with stock cooler's fan undervolted to 5v |
Oh, I was thinking it was a new update! ;) Quote:

If the CPU cooler can't handle IntelBurn then it is already likely getting too hot during full program loads. Stock Intel coolers can handle IntelBurn just fine. Quote:

The idea is, errors are more statistically likely to happen when you've overclocked, the higher the overclock, the more likely they are to happen. Now, running a benchmark for 30 minutes is going to pick up anything glaringly obvious, but what he's trying to say is that an error is more likely to show up under less stress and over a longer period of time, than more stress on a shorter period of time. It also explains why you can have an overclock thats prime stable but not linpack stable, or linpack stable and not prime stable. |

For ya statement on the stock coolers, I run all my CPU's overclocked, and never ever use a stock cooler. If you test a stock clocked and boxed cooled CPU itshould pass any test program as the CPU usually runs at a voltage higher than required. Another issue I have is that many many 45nm CPu's have borked, stuck temp sensors so many users have absolutely no idea how hot the CPU really is. You can say it starts to throttle, is that a good thing ? if you push hardware beyond it's limit and it has to throtlle and is possible lower Vcore. Still isn't a stable then to me as the cooler is inadequate, yet IBT might have completed the tests succesfully. Quote:
