Lower with vcore at 4 GHzWhy would you go lower...go higher.

I see your on phase but will that stop degrading at that voltage?
dont forget GTL ref voltages , i find these to have a critical role in OCing (though i dont know if it affects degradation of 45nm chips)
maybe , in detail http://www.thetechrepository.com/showthread.php?t=87






for 4.4Ghz my SB is as low as it will go at 1.55v. NB running two sticks is like 1.275v and the CPU is 1.44V as i get a fair bit of Vdroop but totally stable at 4.4Ghz. You may be able to run a fair bit less CPU voltage. Your bios should give you what the voltages are set to on auto so theres a good place to start.
