Linx – Intel CPU Benchmarking Tool

Shares

Linx is a small, free and portable application designed to benchmark an Intel CPU in GFlops and to test the stability of a CPU.
Linx supports both 32 and 64 bit operating systems and Single, Dual & Quad Core CPUs. While I was reviewing this application to see if its worthy of becoming the repair tool of the week, it happily maxed out all 4 cores of my QuadCore system at 100% to the point where everything loaded very slowly, but my OS remained stable.
There has even been a well known member on our forums writing a few posts (1, 2) about how this application saved him in a few hard-to-diagnose situations.

This application is a great way to really stress test a CPU so it is defnitely worth adding to your toolkit.

    It looks like the Technibble mirror has only the CLI version?

    Sounds like another good stress testing tool. I also use CPUStabTest, HeavyLoad and prime95

    Can someone cite more examples of when this tool might be useful?

    Larry: stress test tools are good for determining if a system is completely stable or not. They can check to see if CPU temperatures are getting to high while under a full load. Some test RAM, GPU, and CPU. OCCT is another decent one. Some of the programs will take longer to stress your system. For instance prime95 is suggested to be used for about 24 hours to make sure a system is fully stable. While OCCT only takes an hour to test your system. Each one is different in what it will stress but the general idea is the same. Not a bad idea to use different ones to check stability.

    Definitely one of my favourite tools. I also use it to stress test all of my custom-built computers.

    This seems like something that needs to be on my boot cd.

    (thought you meant to say lynx at first… sometimes when all you have is a command line it will save your life!)

    IntelBurnTest-Legacy is another compilation of LinX + GUI. You should run it on 64-bit, and use as much memory as possible.

    Somethin’ to stress test AMD processors?

    I can not believe the amount of quality material that exists on this site. The site is extremely eye catching and pulls the reader straight in, the articles are great quality and are very professionally written. I have seen too many of these sites where it looks like they pay an 8 year old to do the writing – Not this one. Your site is easily the best that I have seen in a long while.

    To Methical:

    both Intel and AMD CPU support (thanks Right from forums.overclockers.ru for that)
