Does your FSB VTT need to be that high?

I have not read anyone degrading below 1.4...and plenty people priming long runs at 1.39 and below without issue.

Only ones between 1.4 and 1.44 had confounding issues, like running with high FSB 600, priming with 545 and ? corresponding high FSB VTT or without, and one Greek poster that degraded at 1.41...but turns out in another post he had benched with 1.825v bios few days prior.

But, if you are seeing degradation and not variability could it be your high FSB VTT and not vcore? Isnt 1.15 normal? I have my FSB at 1.15v. Edit..I think 1.10 is recommended for 45nm, where 1.20 recommended for 65nm. list of degradation post 1246.
