Mike (RAMMIE), which rig and what specs? I might take you up on your offer. I will match it give it a go for a week

I have never used linpac/linx or whatever the current utility is. When initial build is done, 1 hour OCCT and I put the box to crunching.
The key as Mike has found out is moderate overclocks. Long term it will beat any cutting edge box.
I ran my farm this way long before it was "cool" to run long term stability tests. It is an old school "proven" method.
My boxes do not BSOD/stall/lockup/shut down, they just reliably crunch. The only time my boxes don't produce is either power outage or project issues.
YMMV but it works.
FAH and gpu's are the same...moderation and NO problems.

OCCT linpack? that would be the same than linx or ordinary linpack,am i right?
1 hour occt is relatively equal to testing 75 runs linpack,i believe to know
we all know that average overclock,that will crunch forever. but some of us, are tempted, to bring higher clocks to crunch, because they lag rigs. for this people, a stability tester has its use. otherwise your right, why loosing crunching time?

How about a three way i7 920 matchup?

Plain old "old school" OCCT. NO linpac or whatever.
But, marginal overclocks that yield bad or poor work is not acceptable and defeats the purposes of crunching

should be prime95 or something similar.at least its heat output is comparable for me...

I agree Paul, with either a Mega or the new Noctua, water is just not worth it. My mega by far does better than my water at high clocks/voltages. I had a pretty good water setup with a 120.4 rad, the mega beats it by over 10 degrees at high clocks.
Stability is key, i ran 100 passes of intel burn test on my rig
