All power saving features turned off except Speed Step and vcore set (not auto or offset) could be the culprit.

oops i meant llc needs to be kicked inmy bad!
LLC. Load Line Calibration.
Zero Load?
Should be .9xxx v at that speed and idle.

yea it is probably LLC kicking in
Oh that makes sense. Any circumstances where I should change it from level 3 (of 5)?
Edit: Let me check all my power saving options, pretty sure I didn't miss any. Vcore is fixed, let me check for speedstep, not sure about that one.

If you are stable, it doesnt matter. You may be able to lower it to allow for more droop, if you are stable.

Speedstep was enabled. I've got no change with it disabled though. If it's not a big deal I don't mind leaving it. ED, I will poke around with it and edit this with results. Thanks gentleman!
Update: I disabled spread spectrum and set the LLC to level 5 and it's dropped my under-load voltage to 1.24 with no effect on idle voltage. Currently blending and stable so far. I think I might enjoy this more than playing the games I'm overclocking for in the first place heh.
