Hey, I'm fairly new to overclocking and I'm looking to overclock my cpu to around 4.0ghz.

I have installed the Hyper 212 Evo and it's all looking well.
What is the difference between Core Voltage and VID? Thank you.

VID (Voltage Identifier) = Voltage Level "request" by the CPU to the motherboard.

VCore = Actual voltage "delivered/supplied" by the mobo to the cpu.

About the voltage reading, VID is just a state or information that is in the CPU, while vcore is the actual voltage, and as usual, software based reading on vcore is not very accurate, expecting +/-10 to 20% off for normal condition.

Whats your voltage at now? :)

Dont go over 1.5 on 965 :D

VID is 1.4
While Core Voltage (According to CPU-Z) is at 1.344 - 1.368 V, I'm currently at 3.6GHZ.

Alright man, I'll look into that tomorrow or so I guess.
A bit tired from all the hassle I've had installing the Hyper Evo. Ended up bending a few pins, went through the painstaking process of straightening them all out. Here I am, a fully functional pc. :)
