Currently I have my Ci7 4930K running 4.0GHz where I just changed multiplier to 40x and touched nothing else. The vcore is set to auto and it gives the CPU around 1.328 at load as far as I can read of CPU-Z.
I've seen and heard that the 4930K is very much a voltage hog and getting to 4.5GHz takes at least 1.408vcore. However I am just aiming for 4.2GHz with this CPU then I'd be more than satisfied. But to run at 4.2GHz what vcore would that require ? should I just try setting my multiplier to 42x and leave voltage at auto ?

I know you can type in vcore manually but then the CPU stays at that vcore even in idle. I'm not quite sure how vcore offset works and if that's the thing that makes the vcore go down also when the cpu idles (when you manually have entered the vcore).
