Linx doesnt load cpu cores.

setter · 10 Jan 2010 at 02:40

Downloaded LinX the other night, let it run and passed 20 test's, on the settings below.

Ram usage seems a bit low, im using 6gb of ocz reaper at 7-7-7-24 1T. passed 20 runs. Ive tried running it lately by manually selecting 4096 ram, when it starts the cpu cores dont load at all, my system has been very stable in use, mainly encoding video files theese days, no bsod's, cant game as my gtx 280 is borked.

Screenshot above jon is from a 20 run pass a few nights ago, cpu load was 100%, and it passed fine. When ive run it since it doesnt load the cores at all, yet ive been doing a lot of video conversion work the last few days (avi to dvd) system is performing extremely well, apart from graphics, running a 7300gt at the min. Was gonna buy an 8800gt in mm but you got in before me mate.

If i assign all ram in linX jon it still doesnt load the cpu at all now, though ibt with 16 threads and max ram ver 2.4 runs a treat, will download linX again and try it, 8800gt sli, you jammy git lol, makes my current 7300gt seem VERY inadequate. Yep, a few pics of your watercooled setup in the omega would be nice, btw you ever been tempted to cut the floor of the case to fit a bigger rad, say a 120.3?

Nice mate, good use of the bottom hdd cage assembly area, ive often seen users remove this section, even on air cooled rigs. Im very fond of the akasa eclipse/omega cases, id be loathed to cut this current one i have for watercooling as its in pristine condition, hence ive been looking at lian li full tower cases, they have good space in the top that would accomodate a 120.3 rad, good hdd space, as im in need of more storage, plus a lot more room for xfire/sli graphics cards. Itake it your stacked rad setup basically offers the same cooling as a standard 240 rad. A guy on the forums here called Troop took an akasa eclipse and stuck a 120.3 rad in the bottom of the case, cut a few hoes in the mobo tray for cable routing, gotta admit its one of the neatest eclipse watercooled rigs ive ever seen.

Cas 6 is nice, strange about the issue with ibt after reboot. My rig seems to have encountered a cold boot issue, was fine last night, but after coming in from work this evening, when i first hit the power button i get nothing but a black screen, hit the reset button and it starts fine. :confused:

Yep, had a read through the thread in motherboards about ud5 cold booting, seems the latest F9 bios has cured this for a lot of users. Im currently on the stock 0504 bios for my board, though im thinking of flashing to 0006 from the p6t dlx v1 as ive read its more stable, plus it does away with throttling.

EDIT: Seem to have cured my linX issue, linX was running in xp 32 home compatibility,

switched it to vista 64 service pk2, selecting all ram enables 4711mb.

Got the memory issue sorted now, i set linX to run under vista 64 compatibility, (had it running on xp home). Also what i thought was a cold boot issue turned out to be a dodgy dvi cable, the cable had a loose connector, hence the black screen on boot, changed to a spare i had and all is ok again.
