Maybe I'm too tired, but I'm not even really sure what we're discussing!
Anyways, I'm not even sure what to think. It's pretty clear the IBT linpack isn't hitting Haswell the way it could be, neither is anything else really. So what I'm guessing is that you are saying these stress tests we're using which were designed for older systems aren't optimized for Haswell, or perhaps even older uarchs and that we're kidding ourselves?
At least that's what I'm thinking, I ran the latest Intel linpack.. Jesus H Christ.

Chip hit 98C and I closed it, I'm not that crazy!
I don't even know what to think. On the one hand, clearly old tools are ineffectual (all of them), on the other hand what in the heck do I need to test this for? I had a problem with the old tests, they weren't representative of actual loads I used so they made little sense outside of some people wanting to tout their cooling solution... But this?
lolz...
Anyways I'm going to bed, maybe I'll dream happy thoughts where I wake up and every game is optimized like this and I can downclock to 3GHz and get more performance than I was getting at 5.3GHz three hours ago.
I guess my 73c stock temps on IBT are about right then? lol
