Thats strange, cos ive found completely the oposite regarding voltage with my QX9650. It uses less voltage vs. my previous boards. e.g. @ 4ghz:

DFI P35 T2R - 1.32v
Asus Rampage Formula - 1.31v
Asus Striker II Extreme - 1.35v (shocking! lol!)
Asus Rampage Extreme - 1.30v

All voltages and about half of my timings are manually set. Still working on some of the sub timings. This is on 0403.
