Corsair H50 failed after 72 runs in linx

Bulldog you have to make up your mind, one minute you are telling everyone to buy a H50 because there great now you are saying it cant keep your CPU at a safe temp at 4.2, which one is it!!! remember people are likely to buy a bit of kit if its recommended on here!!!
 
I don't understand your conclusion here.

You failed a stability test. You are using the H50. This does not mean that the H50 caused you to fail the test.

At best you can repeat with a better cooler, and if it passes you could conclude that it was a temperature related fail with the H50. There are many reasons why a system can be unstable, temperature can be one of them. What're you getting at here?

It because I am using Prime95 all times as it stable but when I ran Linx (surprise me, the temperature shoot up to 85C from 75C (10 degree more) and after 19 minutes, Linx found error as unstable pc. Oh well, I don't trust prime95 now.
 
prime blend usually runs 5-10 lower than linpack/IBT, i always use one of therlatter to measure max temp.

Believe me, it the first time that H50 does fail me with 4.2Ghz with Linx !!! But, 4.0Ghz with low vcore is stable and 4.2Ghz is stable with 1.3125vcore using prime95 with low temperature. But, today I try out Linx and out of the blue the temperature went higher than prime95 and stopped after 72 runs !

I am not sure how many runs do I need to stable the pc on the Linx ???
 
So you're prime stable but not linx stable, this still doesn't let you conclude that it's the cooler at fault?

Open up the windows in the computer's room and repeat in 6 hours time or so when ambient is a lot lower, if you then pass then it's temperature related. What's the inside of your case like bulldog? You've put epic amounts of effort into the cooler choice but I'm not sure I've seen a shot of the case internals, it might be possible to improve cooling by moving things around a bit
 
19 mins for 72 passes of LinX?

You must be using only 1024mb of RAM for the test I take it??

Try testing using ALL available RAM next time bulldog..

Like Jon said, this has nothing to do with the cooler mate, if it is keeping the chip below 85c then the cooler is fine, it is your bad BIOS settings that caused this to cripple.

Like I said though, testing with LinX using anything less than max available RAM is pointless imo.

My system will run 20 passes at 4GHz using only 1024MB of RAM with 1.200V Vcore in CPUZ, but if I bump it up to use max RAM, it cripples on the 2nd pass..
 
Strange thing is prime95, Intel Burn Test and OCCT all passed but Linx failed after 72 runs ?

Maybe my pc is stable enough if I use 50 runs instead of 100 runs on linx ?

But someone from OCUK say to me best to run up to 100 runs as 10, 25 or 50 runs isn't enough.
 
I think i have to test out on each memory ram using memcheck (hope it not faulty memory ram) because last time I got stable is 12Gb of ram, but unstable with 6Gb of ram this time ! Very strange indeed.
 
Bulldog, there really is no need to run 100 passes of LinX, 20 passes using ALL available RAM is plenty..

Don't just use 1024MB mate, if you have 6GB installed use 4500 to 5000MB of RAM for the test..
 
Read the above bulldog. Linx with so little memory allocated is a waste of time.

Stability is not solely dependent on temperature
