This is what happens when you go for low-volt action
What's going on? Anybody else have been getting similar off-readings?

My 2 cents about offset mode.
It works far better than setting manual voltage.
Manual is very buggy, I had 20x Intel Burn Test Max stable overclock with 46x100 1.270V, and got BSOD just listening to Winamp and browsing, upped voltage by 0.01, still BSOD while playing Dead Space 2, finally had to up it from 1.270 to 1.290 to get it 100% stable.
Offset mode on the other hand doesn't even require long stress testing, it is stable if it passes 3DMark 05/06/Vantage, if not I just up the voltage by 0.01V. On manual I had to use 1.350V (1.320-1.336 in CPU-Z) for 4.8GHz. With offset that would be +0.075V, but it is completely stable with just +0.045V (1.296-1.328 in CPU-Z).

I must be doing something wrong. I'm on the 1053 bios with ultra high LLC. When I'm pushing my 2500k into the 4.8 to 5.0 ghz range, I can achieve stability using manual voltage only. I would like to use the offset for lower idle voltage. However, when I set the offset to match the vcore I observe under load with a manual vcore setting of a a given overclock speed, the system becomes terribly unstable (bluescreens galore). I could try adding more offset voltage, but then the vcore under load becomes higher than I would need for stability with a manual vcore setting.
