Linpack Xtreme Released

just got the 1.0 release

IMO be a lot better to have multiple passes, being able to see it slow down over time is fantastic for finding thermal throttling, or even just an errant process eating CPU power in the background

benching well these days

You can still run the 32-bit version on stress test for 1GB.

This is the reason for changing the benchmark preset. Background apps interfering with the benchmark. Windows 10 has a built-in process that eat CPU all the time: updater.exe.
 
i just find it very valuable to have the results from say 4 tests, where i can see if they've varied in any way. helpful to find out if somethings screwing with it, software or hardware
 
Is the Linux version still 0.9.5? Or were these Windows specific updates?
 
I wasn't even running the test when this happened? i spent whole afternoon cleaning up the mess. My task manager works like a charm usually. And no, it does not make network connections, however I wouldn't want to be in a workgroup when this happens.

Check if the CPU fan is working normally. You can monitor CPU usage from CMD/PS with typeperf "\Process(*)\% Processor Time".

The task manager is somehow broken since Windows 10 October 2018 Update.

I'm still on 1803, and that update was pulled by Microsoft. I'm not saying it's your fault, just that stress test program probably shouldn't be doing all this.
 
Well, before starting your app, my task manager worked correctly. And it is working correctly now.

you're welcome to report bugs here, but when no one else can reproduce it - and your results are related to your antivirus/other running software, you may well have a problem on your system totally unrelated to this program.

Possibly, but if my system has issues, I'm failing to notice them.

It's amazing that anything in Windows 10 functions. MS is so shoddy lately that I'm reminded of Windows 95, 98, and ME.

Not sure what problems you are having with Windows 10 but I personally think it's the best Windows to date and functions perfectly fine for my uses. Installed on countless PCs will almost zero driver problems or UI issues. I always set up my rigs with classic shell and quick launch toolbar to maximize the experience. I recommend doing the same. Sure, every now and then Microsoft releases an update that causes some issues but for the most part, it's been rock solid, at least for me.

In regards to stress testing: I think it's a very subjective endeavor across the spectrum of users. Gamers tend to require the most stringent stress testing, followed by overclockers and then followed by the average enthusiast, ending with the basic end user. Some people seek out the maximum stress test for a myriad of reasons, while other's just choose to forgo stress testing completely. I think it's all depending on what you do with your computer and what you want from your overclock. For example, you wouldn't tow a 10,000lb trailer over mt. eagle with a Honda Fit, because that just plain wont work under even the best of circumstances. For me, I tend to stay away from stress testing and let the daily drive find flaws with my overclock. I have lots of experience with the Phenom II and some of the unlocked X6 CPUs will fail under prime, but stay completely rock solid under daily use. I can achieve a 4.0Ghz overclock with superb performance and that works for me. If I want rock solid stress testing, I'd have to disable two cores and downclock to 3.7Ghz, in some instances. Don't want that, I want to leave all the performance on the table. And if something goes wrong during my own use, I fix it on an individual basis.

All that being said it is nice to have an alternative to prime and I'm eager to give this a shot on some of my overclocked rigs. But in summary, I'm generally not one to recommend the whole 24 hour stress test thing because I want to maximize performance. And some overclocks are never meant as a "daily driver" scenario and that's okay in my book.
 
@Regeneration
Feature request!

how about a short and long benchmark? short one for a faster result, and a longer one (5x passes?)
 
I like it, good implementation
 
I got a question I got a 9900k and I'm getting low scores when it's overclock to 5ghz on all cores ... at stock I'm getting a 100 gflops more than my 5ghz oc ... what is goin on ?
 
Check temps. The 9900k is already notorious for overheating.

Something is wrong with your OC configuration or overheating.
