Ok....I'm lost for words now, just... wtf =o

Just put turbo back on, dropped bclk to 191 and started dropping vcore & qpi/vtt to see how low I could go and still boot/stay stable and honestly I'm ing speechless here going "wtf?"
With turbo off & bclk at 200 the only way to get pc to boot was putting qpi/vtt at 1.375 (or around that, forgot exact number) and only way for OCCT/Linpack complete their runs was to put vcore at 1.4

I just kept dropping and dropping and dropping to reach 1.255 qpi/vtt and it boots fine, vcore is at 1.3 V and I just completed 10 minutes of OCCT & Linpack.
All I changed since the 1.375 / 1.4 is putting turbo back on along with a lower bclk and different ram sticks.

Anyone here got an explanation for this?

ps :
Yes I know 10 minutes doesn't show it's 100% stable (not even close) but with x20 multi (turbo off) it wouldn't even boot with these voltages so huge improvement!
