Your vid is on the high side. For finding lowest Vcore run P95 smallFFTs, then move onto Blend P95. Alot of people are finding they need slightly more Vcore to run P95 Blend then they did running P95 small FFTS.
Ok thanks thats good to know. I just got my cpu running 500x9 p95 blend for 30 minutes and then I stopped it, because it needed 1.472v according to cpu-z to do so and the temps were getting to mid 70's. My guess is for 5 ghz I'd need like 1.6v on the NB, 1.7vcore+ and obviously the right cooling to handle that.
