VID and vcore different. VID is only a suggestion from the chip about what voltages it wants to use for that speed (different VID on each chip). The VID number is just basis for deciding how much lower to set vcore/offset and LLC, until you get to your highest clocks possible, where you would probably be using a vcore a bit higher than the VID.
Yea, one more thing I want to add, if you are using DVID offset, then you must understand that your VID is going to be the base "normal" vcore, and the DVID will add voltage to the VID. However with sandy bridge and ivy bridge your VID changes on its own, it isn't a fixed voltage, it is only fixed per frequency and per conditions, which is basically variable.

I will just go with the Corsair and try it out has to be better then what I am using now
IMO id go for it.

How high are you able to take your cpus? The board comes with 4 pin cpu power connector and I'm wondering if that is a hindrance.
Well take a look at my OC guide
http://www.overclock.net/t/1247413/ivy-bridge-overclocking-guide-with-ln2-guide-at-the-end
And this picture towards the end:
That is almost 250W through the 4-pin connector on the Sniper M3, which is also same VRM as the D3H. And it is at 6.171ghz. I would say it wont make a difference.

My max temps at stock clock using Prime Blend Stress Test for 4 hours was 58C on core 2 using RealTemp3.70. 1st core is 6c cooler and the other two are 2c cooler. Ambient is around 22-24c.
Using Sin0822 2nd profile, DVID, I got 100c within 10 sec and I stopped the test right after.
Then I tried the 1600XMP profile and so far after 1.5 hours my max temps are 72c, which seem a little high to me?
Not knowing much I assume the DVID is better for energy savings when in idle? Which sounds nice just not sure why my temps were so high?
I guess at this point I should reduce the vcore and test it? Which Prime test is best and how long should I run it before lowering it again? Are my temps high? Everything listed in my sig is what was used.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated. BTW, board has been running great so far. My biggest problem so far is my keyboard won't let me get into my bios when I have my Eizo monitor plugged into the back usb slot.
See my DVID settings are set on my VID, you need to go in and change the DVID offset to a lower + value.
Can you try a different port? do you have another keyboard?
