VID = Voltage Identification. It's 6 pins on the CPU where it requests a specific amount of voltage from the VRM on the motherboard.
As used in the context of overclocking, VID usually means the highest VID the CPU requests at its stock speed and stock loadline (i.e. loadline calibration off). The CoreTemp utility displays this value.
The possible VID values for a given processor is specified in the processor datasheet, something every Intel CPU owner should read.
