Yes there is.

I had a 1.28vid that needed 1.45v for 3600Mhz (400x9) and would still fail prime95 blend test.

My 1.21vid needs only 1.26v (in bios/ 1.28cpuz) to run 3600Mhz stable as rock Prime95 blend and 3dmarks (1200ddr2 Pl5).

But for over 4050Mhz they both pretty much maxed out the same with the lower vid needing less vcore then the higher vid cpu.
