If you test proper stability, you'll get accurate figures to put into your formula. Stable means hiccup free, smooth at all times no matter what you do. Pick two separate low settings, as you chose below and stability test them properly, I mean game and run software etc, then try this formula below again.
    Wait a minute.. you didn't have any options for CPU/IMC voltages last I recall? The only thing you were manipulating was CPU and NB VID, right?

    What are these values below exactly and did you measure VCore voltage with DMM to match these figures?

    Your board doesn't give IMC voltage, so that can't be correct, unless you're talking about Voltage Identities?

    Here's my lowest stability:
    CPU - 2300MHz 1.175VID 1.160V Idle/1.152V Load
    IMC - 1800MHz 1.050VID

    Now tell me, IDK the IMC voltage, I only can know my VID which is not the voltage... so which two values are you going to use for CPU/NB in your equation?
    I have two settings in the bios labeld prozessor and north bridge voltage. Those settings match exactly with the CPU/NB VID settings (AMD PM, PCI registers, AOD).
    ATM I test 212x11 and my Vcore readings are 1.264V load/1.248V idle. They are closer to the bios settings than on your mobo, noted em a few times but they are always in the rounding rounding area (+-0.016V I guess) so I always talk about what I set in the bios.

It maybe is possible to be used once you know the lowest limit of CPU and NB, which you have to stability test to find out anyway, and then to find a combined best value.. but still, that depends on your answers to my qs above.
    It should take around 4 hourst to find those two prim95-30min stable points. Using the max values for cpu and nb as a starting point for a long term stability test should save alot of time. It's a pitas to find em step by step.

    U know u know something I don't know.

    But I have pictures. Much less units in this area.
    Can you see on this image which resistors are responsible for cpu and nb voltage?
    EDIT: I measured the reachable resistances on the top side of the mobo and found no 1,25V amplitude there so I guess it's on the bottom side.

    Is it save to put my osciloscopes probe on those resistances on a running system (proper mounted cooler assumed).

    BTW: The specs of this L6740L chip are very interesting read, but I guess you know most of this stuff. Since how long do you overclock so far?
