1.2750 here.
Old myth, some believe in it, never seen a definite test
The VID should be measured at idle, on default settings. It is the lowest vcore intel built in the CPU internal settings that the CPU could run.
Theorically, the lowest it is, the better OC headroom you have
My Q6600 G0 has a VID of 1.16v, so theorically, I could reach higher OC before increasing the vcore than a VID of 1.21 (I can't test, since I'm FSB limited)
Personally, I'm not convinced as my chip needs 1.39 vcore on load for 3.51GHz, not a world record... despite my VID

From the top you should do, if you apply 15-20 secs, no risks, the NB on load will heat much more than your hair dryer in 20 sec. Just, never exerce any strenght on the components, they should come gently, take your time
