It is true that LinX is a software that already has a few decades to its credit, but today it is considered one of the most powerful compression tools available, and will take your processor – whatever – at its limit, let us know when overbacks are stable and, at the same time, it will allow us to detect very high temperatures, something that is especially useful when you have increased the processor voltage when overulsing.
Compress the processor fully
After going over the processor we intend to push it to a higher level to ensure that it is stable, and because of this we have to take it to a much larger limit than it would reach with normal usage. For this, we have special tools like LinX, which we can also get for free on their website.
What distinguishes LinX from other software compression software such as this is well known Prime95 that you use the Intel Linpack Library to do so, the more accurate the calculations are, the more compressed the processor will be. In addition, one of the advantages offered by this software is that its run time is very short, that is, it only needs a few seconds to power the processor and therefore we can see if it is stable.
For this reason, we urge you to use additional monitoring software such as OpenHardwareMonitor to monitor temperatures, because especially if we over-process the voltage, it can reach temperatures without safe limits, so we have to pay close attention.
How to use LinX
After downloading and decomposing LinX (no need to install), we will get the next screen, where we can provide a direct «Start» to start compressing the processor completely.
However, we can provide the "All» right side of the memory value to use, which will set the size of the problem and memory consumption larger (this is the case to see if the processor is stable). 20).
However, we do have a settings menu, which will allow us to "tap" options a bit.
Here we can force the program to work in 32 or 64 mode (line 64 pieces), change priorities, limit the number of process threads, etc. Once we have selected the options that interest us (you can leave everything in default settings silently), we can provide the right one and start the test.
When done, it will show us the result of all the "runs" we have set (in this case, 20). This shows the processor performance in the GFLOPs and will indicate whether or not it detected calculation errors.
In the bottom right corner we have a button called "Log", which will show us this result in text mode instead of form.
To check the processor's robustness after overuse, it is important to use the 100-bit LinX test by activating the «All» button to apply the most complex problems with all the available RAM. If after doing so (which takes less than 10 minutes) the equipment is stable, does not exceed the heat source and the test is complete without errors, we can determine the overclock stability.
