General Questions about Voltages and more.

Q1: When giving voltage to a chip. Is there a stage where you can give the chip just enough in one area, be it VCORE or vtt or other, where the chip will work JUST within its limits also won't fail but also will not give the best results?
What I am asking is, if the voltage means there are no reboots under intense load through out the chip will the voltage be perfect as in its just within the scales or can you still hold the chip back by it performing on limited power?
Is it a perfect working chip situation or a problematic one at some stage? no in between?

Hope that comes across how I intended it.

Q2: Prime95 Testing: If all 1024K threads pass at different times (not all within 5 secs of each other) does this mean the chip is suffering on some cores? Or is that normal?

Thanks...
