Is it coupled with cpu pll?
I've had 5 i7's of the 930 and 950 flavors... my first 930 has been the best 'performer' needing the lowest voltage to do 4.2ghz at 200bclk... I'm having to push core voltage up to about 1.38 on all the chips except my first, which needs about 1.37.
I popped one of the 950's into a gigabyte x58a ud3r board, and it only needed 1.28v to do 4.2 when i bumped the qpi pll up to 1.16 from 1.10...
sigh...
might be time to dump asus i guess...
