Fellow SB'ers, which setting are you using to set your vcore? I found that if I used manual that when the cpu would clock down to 1600 mhz, the voltage did not go down with it. If i used offset, it would lower the voltage on idle.
Some observations I've seen when using offset:
If I set it to Auto, the voltage used can be very erratic, I've seen as high as 1.35V! I've set my multiplier to 42 and it was much higher than I thought it should be. I put the offset at -.070 and under load it doesn't get any higher than 1.2V. Temps went up 1-2C with the 4.2Ghz overclock. Definitely very happy with that, but just very concerned over this manual vs offset voltage! I have LLC set to Auto.
I have a Sabertooth P67... saw similar results with the P8P67 I had.
