With very low idle-vCore, you may also get BSOD at idle, light-loads, or sudden-load too, sometimes. Because you haven't necessarily tested all these scenarios when you test it under full load(LinX) and full vCore.

All these may change with those new buzz-word, like DIGI+ VRM, etc .., because the MB seams to be getting more responsive for supplying and regulating voltages, but Intel still recommends standard LLC, and it remains to be seen how it will work for real-word 24/7 use on these MBs.
Thanks for the info...I like the way my PC is handling this offset mode @ 4.8ghz...I'll try and find the same balance using standard or a lower LLC setting.
