So, you're suggesting that for a specific set of voltages, the GTLs that give me that max GFLOPs/min Times in LinPak (over several trials -- I usually run 15 before switching to prime95) is the sweet spot? That I should tune for that? See if it's stable and if not, move on?
yeah you should be able to just make sure you use the same problem size for all tests. you can use two different ones, ie like I do, small problem and large problem, just as long as the config is consistent for all the testing runs.

That's how I've always tuned GTL for unknown FSBs heh I just figured others realized the same! I guess it's not as obvious as it looks to me!

Gives me a good idea, and usually if you get it right in Linpack..Prime95 should pass with flying colours provided you haven't hit an FSB Wall on the chip! Usually Linpack picks up the Wall before Prime anyway...nothing says wall more than a hard system lock that can't be tuned around!
