txtmstrjoe has something interesting to report:
After running for months on 1.36V VCore in the BIOS on my gaming rig, I decided to do some experimentation last night. I dropped the VCore a whole .5V in the BIOS, so now it's set at 1.3125V.
I ran S&M just to see if the rig was still stable at lower VCore.
See attachment please.
