One of my problems is that I'm now stable (Windows, Super PI, etc.) except for PRIME... so testing anything for stability takes a long time. I can go anywhere from 15min to an hour before PRIME errors (usually on core 4). Thus it will take me eons to tweak every darn setting to find ultimate stability.
I use OCCT 30 mins test, I find this just as good, actually better than prime, as it is a quick hit. The 30 min test is good enough for me if it passes, generally everything I throw at the pc runs..

Rhyme or reason is in the Gtl article by Kris as you thought. With regards to formula's Gtl is in the 2/3 VTT ballpark as Kris has told, the rest is down to onboard resistor/component variance and tolerance levels, including thermal drift, system specific rfi/emi etc, not forgetting individual cpu variance...
