One thing I forgot, only run intel processors with AVX availability so you can take advantage of this instructions. Please don't run core2 processors.

That would be great if the client didn't crash so much on AVX systems.

Are your systems stable? Why don't you try to make a torture test with Prime95?

(dnet is not as demanding as Prime95)

[guru]

Yes, my old i7 2600K has been stable for the past 4 years, running everything I can throw at it. Including dnetc for months on end. I'm a software and hardware engineer. I stress test and repair systems for a living.

[pinhodecarlos]

How do you stress test your machines?

[guru]

Many different ways, some of the software is done in house and confidential. Beyond just normal stressing we test the equipment while operating at different thermal limits.

The system normally has the turbo set to 45 and is stable up to 50. I tried stock speeds as well as lower than stock. I suspect it is not detecting the processor properly just like the Core2. Core2 has never had HT yet the client assumes HT if more than 4 threads. The 2600K supports AVX but it may be trying to use more advanced instructions like AVX2. Windows blue screens within 30 seconds no matter what speed the system is set to run. I could do further testing by forcing instructions via client options but the system is currently unplugged. Issues like this is why I give the client reliability such a low score. Dealing with issues like this on one system is ok but try running this on 10 or more systems. I don't have that much spare time. I can run something more stable like dnetc and have time to relax, smoke a cigar, and sip some nice Irish whiskey.
