I have read that Core Temp gives the VID and CPU-Z the vcore, and to find the required offset voltage for an overclock, you subtract the vcore from the VID, and that gives you your required offset for the chosen overclock ratio.
is this the highest readings while running prime? or are they the system idle values? I'm not sure because if I subtract the value from CPU-Z from Core Temp while running Prime at x45 I get a difference of 0.169 which puts the offset imput in RED figures, Is this way off track? or does 0.169 sound reasonable? Also the vcore reads between 1.336~1.344v while running prime with temps not exceeding 68c Idle vcore reads 1.136~1.152v. I hope this is fine, if it is, then I've found my 4.50Ghz spot on my 3570k
