Thanks for the advice donmarkoni. The frustrating thing about LinX is that anybody can easily compete 20 passes with different degrees of stability, from very weak to very strong, and I now see why zoson wanted GFlops included in every submission because with AVX it is a completely different kettle of fish. This has become more like Core2 overclocking and I love it - it's much harder to achieve "optimal" stability and there's much more tweaking required.
I made a little more progress with 4.6GHz 12 threads by pushing CPU to 1.5v with QPI at 1.35v, but it's still very finnicky.
And, annoyingly, my 4.5GHz run above with the exact same settings and voltages now gives me 75 GFlops even after being very stable for an hour... lol. At least I got it once, lol... LinX is actually a pain in the a$$.
