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.
