I'd just hate to go spend $300 to find that it runs on only 0.02v lower...

I'm wondering why it's so different, though...
vcore is vcore...The CPU *IS* getting the voltagge since power draw and heat are higher...Have you tried something like raising the VIO/VTT to 1.2v and system agent to 1.02v, and maybe a notch to 1.1v for PCH?

I mean it's worth a try...

I did notice that I only seem to need 1.380-1.392v for 5 ghz HT Off....but turn on HT and needs 1.428-1.440v? ... 0.04v difference?
Tried increasing these volts but sadly not helping.
But wont simply increase vtt without any reason ie dram clock, timing etc..
Anyway will migrate to Z68 by next week most prolly from other brand lol.
