I know, I was just replaying to zanzabar who mentioned my problem was having SPECIAL set to AUTO... of which it can't be since I'm running a low vcc which does not enable the changing of special(infact i'm betting the board just ignores it at that low).

I'm not trying to match the VID, I'm trying to get as low as possible and be prime stable. I just wanted to know why everything read so much higher than what you set in the bios. For most boards I've noticed it is the exact opposite(lower than what you set).

I have a feeling this chip will run under 1v stable at stock. I also notice my temps on load don't change much at all between 1.05 and 1.232 with my TRUE w/nf-p12. Maybe 2 degrees if that. I could use better cooling though for my case... atm I'm not running the side fan and I just have one harddrive bay intaking air with stock coolermaster fan and two stock exaust(one rear one top). I believe they are just 1200 fan.
