I read the sticky and still have some quick questions

1. Can i leave the CPU PLL and QPI/DRAM voltages set on auto? I noticed that this mobo ASUS P6TSE will feed the CPU too much voltage when CPU VTT is left on auto, nothing dangerous it just hurts temps a bit, are these other voltages okay on auto or should i manually set them to something?

2. Will it affect stress testing if im using the comp while prime is going? Its still perfectly usable with prime so it should be fine yeah? LinX on the other hand drags it to a crawl.

What ive done to get my i7 920 to 3.4ghz is simply increase the CPU VTT to 1.15v and turn off turbo mode, the QPI link and the uncore are set on their lowest possible settings, DDR3 is at 1403 or something similar. Its on ASUS P6TSE in case it makes a difference.
