LinX 0.6.5

LinX is a tiny interface that works in tandem with Intel’s Linpack benchmark to test for both the stability of a system and for hardware errors. It is an easy to use interface with several hints for those who may be new to benchmarking tools; however they are unobtrusive and out of the way of the more experienced users.

There are several settings to choose from within LinX to test a CPU to its absolute peak; however, I found in my testing that one major feature has yet to be implemented in this version. That is the graphs feature. LinX will allow its user to record data on graphs using Everest or Speedfan. From there the user is also able to specify what specific information needs to be monitored and recorded on the graph.

If this feature was working properly it would vastly improve LinX’s usability, but it is nice to know that the developer is working on it for a future release.
