I am trying to follow what you're saying about lowering the vRef but not sure if u mean lower them both together (vCore + Ref) or just adjust the vref by itself and keep vCore fixed. In the bios, as soon as you touch CPU term, the vRefs start changing on their own. I don't even know what "CPU term" really represents. Googled for hours today to try to find the true meaning and came up basically empty. Man, overclocking quad's on p45 = huge pain in the ar$e
cpu term is vtt.the ref tracks with the changing of vtt.here is a link that explains how it works.

what i mean about changing ref is try lowering it and then see if it is still prime95 stable.if so then see if your able to lower the vcore any.if so the thats good,if not try lowering the ref again or raising it.its a lot of work but if you want the most out of your components you need to know how they work.
just like what andressergio when using the 8.5 multiplier he needs a different mch ref 0.84v instead of 0.80v.

so when you cpu term(vtt) 1.20v in bios,then set cpu ref to 0.785v and mch to 0.80v now go back to cpu term(vtt) and raise it to 1.36v and the cpu and mch ref should change to 0.886v and 0.901v.see how they track?
