    No need to make anything harder than it needs to be.

    Half can be totally skipped, sure it looks good on paper but its confusing to most.
    I'm not sure how using the letter 'Y' as opposed to 'item' makes anything any harder to grasp, nor so I think it looks any better. You supplied an identical equation (maths wise) and described it as being 'way simpler than the one on this site' when the only difference is that it uses 'item' instead of 'Y'.

    The whole equation working is there to show the process, of course once you get it you can skip whatever you want.

    The longest stable CPU GTLs I found were at -55,-5,-55,-5 which still doesn't seem right, but narrowing the gap gave me less stability (faill during 8K), while keping it at 50mv aways seemed to get into the 10k tests. Either way, it's still a big improvement over 50,10,50,10 which failed during 1024k, and I suspect I will be able to drop the vcore down by 2-3 notches.
    One thing I did notice that seems to make me question if this is the right setting is that when I tested at +10,+10,+10,+10 and -20,-20,-20,-20, they gave me a rounding error, all others just rebooted (no BSOD either)
    In my experience/opinion a reboot is less stable than a rounding error.

    I'm not sure if a fatal error means its less stable than a rounding error. It sounds worse but who knows for sure.

    Sounds like you need more vcore maybe more Vtt and just get it stable, then tweak the GTL's and try and lower vcore/vtt from that point.

    This is where I experience trouble finding the GTLs though. If I up Vcore a notch or two, I will get more stability (if not, total stability), but it will still reboot on the majority of occasions. If I give more or less VTT than 1.32 then the system becomes more unstable. On another note, I got back after a weekend away, started the rig up, and with the most stable GTLs I found so far, it was failing withing 5-10 minues of prime (during 1024k test) which it passed all the time 2 days ago and was stable for almost an hour. Something very fishy here imo.

    if your failing large FFT's 1024k test then you need more VTT or vNB

    1024 - increase VTT or vNB
    896 or 448 - vNB
    768, 512, 332 - VTT
