This is the MAIN problem. There were never any standards initially set for this thread. So we have "conflicting" information across the board. IMO BIOS voltage and vtt is all that is needed. The purpose of this list is to see what batches overclock well. If we use bios voltage the user who is inquiring about a batch knows what it will take from a bios stand point to get his rig running at those speeds.

Load and idle voltage can vary from different PSU's, CPU-z/eleet/everest versions etc etc.

This is not a benchmark test and we dont need to be at eachothers throats to get a higher spot, if you know what I mean. This is for the greater of the i7 users, not our individual selves.
