Low VCore on Q6600 OC

I've been trying to OC my Q6600 G0 and have run into a potential problem that I've not been able to solve by searching around.

My VCore is set to 1.315V using uGuru, FSB is 333, mult x9, RAM @ 2.1V 999Mhz. It's stable at the setting, altough Core temp is reporting 67C on a couple of cores. I'm going to get some better compound at some point and see if that helps.

In uGuru, at idle is shows 1.27V, 1.24V under load. I know I should expect some vdroop, but 0.4V without load seems a lot. MCH is set to 1.34V, other settings are the defaults.
 
That actually sounds pretty normal to me you can run CPU-Z or Core Temp and see what kind of voltage it shows.

I wouldn't be to worried though those numbers seem normal.
 
As an example, my bios is set at 1.4875, but I'm reading 1.31V in speedfan. You're only getting a .1 Vdroop... 1.3x - 1.2x = .1x :D
 
Thanks for the reassurance. I'm a little surprised that there is such a discrepancy (actually, 0.04v :)) , but if it's normal that all good :)
