Sandy Bridge: Core Temp VID voltage correct?

In the bios I have it set to 1.2v currently with a 4GHz overclock (working my way up again for the lowest volts/temps). All the other main voltages are set to their default. However when I get into windows, under load core temp is reporting it as 1.346 whilst cpu-z is showing it as 1.2v (or just under).

Temps are a lot lower compared to having a higher vcore so I'm presuming the core temp voltage reading is irrelevant? Or is it overvolting due to some sort of turbo voltage setting I don't know about? Incidentally I've set the additional voltage for turbo to the lowest in the bios.

Any ideas what's going on? :confused: lol
