i've got to say, (on the same board by the way, cheers!) my e2160's voltage, which i raised, is 1.325, and that leaves it stable at 2.8 ghz, and that voltage does seem really very high....
There is no help in your case, all cpu have different voltage, so it is pure luck toget a cpu has low vid.
My e6320 needs 1.465 volt to pass 2.8GHZ and my x3210 only needs 1.225 volts pass 3.4 GHZ.
go change to another cpu is the only solution
I've read the posts and I'm not sure we have the correct answer.
I'm checking to find a better description.
This is what I could find so far.

VID Voltage Range: The voltage range set by the VID signals as a reference to the VR output voltage to be delivered to the processor Vcc pins. For more details, please refer to the relevant processor specification document
My take on this is CPU-Z reads the info the BIOS retrieves from the VID pin configuration on your cpu.
The VID pin configuration instructs the BIOS the VReg has to supply the processor 1.325V at start up. This is the push the processor needs to get up and running when the computer cold boots.
I don't think CPU-Z continuously monitors the VReg output for the processor. The voltage applied to the processor is directly proportional to cpu load. At idle load your processor may need 1.1V to operate. At full load your processor may need 1.275V to operate.
Your idle and full load temperatures are ideal. You shouldn't have any problems overclocking your processor to a 1066FSB without having to adjust processor voltage.
Instead of adjusting the processor voltage to achieve a stable overclock have you tried raising the memory voltage and relaxing the memory timings?
