Well, I did use the auto option in MSI bios to help me get up to 4.0-4.2 on max auto volts which was 1.365v. Auto feature gave me a max 1.7v on pll and 1.39 on qpi. In a perfect world the auto function would know the specific character of my CPU, but I guess they rather trow in a bit too much on the qpi when going on high bclk and staying "safe" on the pll (wich are rumoured to kill CPU's). I did some quick research and lowered the qpi to be a bit closer to my intended vcore of 1.2v and landed on 1.35v. As for pll even Intel states that 1.8v is fine, so I changed that to 1.8v. Then I just throw a session of Prime95 and started to lower the vcore in windows with the MSI oc util. Landed on 1.2v, you can imagine my joy when I continued to lower the voltage and the primesession kept on going...

4GHz on 1.2v is not supergood, but it sure is a helova lot betta than 4GHz on 1.365v... Just bought a True Black and gonna lap that and while I'm at it lap the CPU as well. Just for fun...
