I initially had my voltage set to default, which showed 1.248V under CPU-Z. Last night, I set my voltage manually to 1.25 in the BIOS and now CPU-Z shows 1.272V.

I'm confused as I thought that CPU-Z would show a lesser value that your BIOS setting.

Also, I set my voltage lower to 1.125 in the BIOS, the system booted fine with my overclock. Once I get a stable overclock at the spec voltage (1.25V, right?), should I try to lower the voltage as much as possible?

Thanks.

Systems specs:

ASUS Rampage Formula
E4800 @ 3.6 (9x400) @ 1.25V (~1.27V)
4GB (2x2GB) Corsair Dominator DDR2-1066 5-5-5-18 (1066mhz @ 2.1V)
Diamond Radeon 4870x2
 
Sure you always wanna run as little voltage as possible for any rated speed. The more you OC the more you'll need of course though
