Try a newer version or CPU-Z? It should show, if not, you can always verify the timings in the BIOS as well.

LinX is no longer a good tool to test real-world stability, especially with Ivy Bridge. Even ASUS's overclocking guru "JJ" does not recommend it for Ivy Bridge. If you want to test stability, use AIDA64. It also tests all aspects of the CPU with all of the latest Ivy Bridge technology improvements.

thank you alex , CPU-Z 1.61 displays my statistics ! i will try using AIDA64, but the only reason i was stressing the PC was b/c of the BSOD i had received ( physical memory dump ) . the problem has not duplicated so am i going overboard by testing the system ? it is only 3 weeks old . also , if linX was used by DS to stress the system why cant i seem to get past 16 passes ( as of last night ) before it stops on error ? one last thing, i have been trying to activate the LED lighting system i had put in the chassis but cannot seem to activate it ? i feel almost STUPID for even having to ask this. thanks again ahead of time ,sam

We stopped using LinX to stress-test the systems. if the BSOD has stopped, it may have been due to a driver or software issue instead of the overclock as well.

Try flipping the switch in the back of the system in the PCI-slots, it's a small red switch. If that does not turn the lighting on, open the system, and check the cables that go to the power invertor box for the cold cathode tubes, that may have gotten loose in shipping, and then try flipping the switch again (red one) to see what happens.

If you still can't get it to work, feel free to contact our team directly.
