Also, CPUZ just reads the mobo sensors, and each mobo is going to have slightly different voltages, so 1.42 on one board might be same voltage as 1.41 on another, even if the same board/brand. I think the ASUS has tighter LLC as well, so it might be closer to 1.4 bios and 1.4 load vs gig 1.43 bios equals 1.4 load, which simply means you may have to use 1.43bios on gig board for the equivalent of 1.4bios on Asus, plus any board to board variance. But your current cooling/ambients are going to need to improve first.
