Hi Peng,

AFAIK GMX only uses fftw for PME.

If you have no reason to prefer flexible bonds you can use LINCS or
SHAKE to constrain the bond lengths and run with a timestep of 2fs at
room temperature.

You may want to try LAMMPS and GMX with SHAKE and a timestep of 2fs and
see if the results are similar before recompiling GMX. If I understood
you correctly you didn't constrain the bonds.
