Nice score

Nice score

Wow, agreed... Great job man.

Thanks, temps running Linpack are bit higher than I like but this is a 24/7 stable overclock.

 

[Sean W.]

yea those temps are a wee bit high, what cooler are you using?

That is a really good LinX score for a Q9550, how about a picture of your setup

My setup is real basic, Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3 board, E0 steppping Q9550 cooled with Megahalems and a G.Skill Trident F2-9600 2 * 2 GB kit. I do get about 1 Gflop extra thanks to my 1200 MHz memory compared to people running with 1066 MHz kits but that is only thing special about my system, I'm not even using a -UD3P or -UD3R board like most Gigabyte overclockers. FSB's like 400, 450 and 500 MHz are real sweet spots for my memory kit, like this:

These settings also push really nice Gflops and even temps stay very cool, hard to decide which one to use

does PhysX on Nivdia cards help the processor in this benchmark?

you have to select 'all' for the memory option.

No. Your gpu will have no impact at all on linpack.
