I have noticed the variation in work throughput and noticed when I had the GTL Refs spot on that the Gflops were very similar within a run, but by the time I noticed I had my system tuned almost perfectly. It's probably a good idea to use this in addition to other methods to get the GTL Refs tuned for the particular FSB.

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!
