Concerning bios 1406, They did something that adjusted vdore under load according the OCCT. I ran a few runs with OCCT before I updated from 1402 to 1406 today. With 1402, after the initial 1 minute delay, my vcore was more a less a flat line. With 1406 it goes up with Load, ie when the cpu is tested, and down a tad when ram is being tested. Interesting.

My findings won't help you guys with the problem, as I do not have a C1, nor am I running Vista, but it is interesting nonetheless.
