The Sandy Bridge VID does seem to work differently than the older generation in that with loaded cores it can increase. For instance if I run Linx/AVX @4.6GHz, VID will be 0.03V higher with 4 cores than running on just one core or one thread. If your using Regular LLC ie standard Intel spec, then the loadline drop should be much more than 0.030V with 4 cores vs one core meaning your Vcore should be higher for one core than 4 cores. Sounds like something weird is going on if your seeing 0.1V less with one core vs 4 cores.
If you had LLC set to Ultra High or maybe High even, then it might be possible that there could be less Vcore for single threads. LLC is set to auto and not Auto right?
You seem to have a high offset 0.1V are you not using the extra turbo VIDs? If not, give them a go and see if it makes a difference but please make sure your old offset you put in is reduced, say to 0.010V. If you have a really good chip you might even be able to use a negative offset depending how high you want to OC.
