EDIT:
Wait a second! You are just using software voltage readouts, after vdroop has taken place? What voltage do you have set in your BIOS and what motherboard are you using?
The voltage reading is correct after vdroop I use a Maximus formula X38 flashed rampage bios 0403. The vcore set in bios is 1.275v and it drops to 1.216v load that I am counting as vcore? My intentions was not to taunt u I was only showing what my new cpu could do. I booted windows in 4ghz 1.4v vios set but it requiers insane vBN voltage and it is not that stable either I can run a 3dmark06 perhaps if I am lucky. T

he other problem I have is that I am running 4 sticks of ram that means I really need to push the vNB alot to not get thoose random reboots in Vista but with 2 ram sticks it is eaiser to overclock and get it stable. 475 fsb with 4 sticks is ok though and my cpu is completly stable prime blend with 1.28v vcore after vdroop 1.3v in bios set. Need 1.55v + on vNB though for 475 fsb which is bad imo :P
