The 1.5 in BIOS or 1.42 that Everest shows. I keep reading 1.5v should be the safe limit when OC'ing, if I'm only really using 1.42, then great, I'll try to reach the 3.8GHz mark. If not,

Do you not trust what I explain with you Vdroop is an issue with 98% of the boards out there. Just cause you set a Vcore in the BIOS does not mean that is what your "pumping" to the CPU. Example: If you set 1.50 in BIOS, once your in windows it might read 1.45 after vdrop, then once under 100% load it might read 1.42 after VDROOP.
