Hi and welcome.

First things first, CPUID (HWMonitor) and the BIOS will always report differently, but always trust in what the BIOS tells you.

The second thing is not to follow overclocking guides that specify what multiplier and voltage to use. Overclocking is never an exact science and the results always differ. For example, my voltage at 4.2Ghz is 1.22V.

That brings me to my third point; 1.26V, which is insanely high and will create a lot of heat. You should be able to maintain stability at a much lower voltage.

This is the guide I used when I got into overclocking. It doesn't specify exact clock speeds and voltages, but it does give you the knowledge to adjust these settings yourself, which is better...

Good luck.
