There are so many different terms for all these voltages, I just want to make sure I'm not damaging my CPU. I have a core i7 920 overclocked to 3.2 GHz with these settings:
Uncore/QPI Voltage set to 1.3 V in BIOS
DRAM voltage set to 1.62, 1600 MHz (10 x 160 BCLK), 8-8-8-24
When I run CPU-Z, it says my core voltage is 1.020. Is this the same as Uncore voltage? In this case, is my uncore at 1.020 while my DRAM is at 1.62???!!! Please advise.
Thanks

Okay, thanks for your help. It seems so obvious just looking at the terms now. I'm not really sure why I freaked out when I saw 1.020 Core voltage. I think I'm gonna go ahead and push my DRAM to 1.66 with Uncore of 1.25 to see if I can get these OCZ platinums at the spec'd timings of 7-7-7-24.
Thanks!

depending on temps personally id rather put the 920 under a good phase unit and bump it upto 4.5-5ghz , im not really a mem person i never see the benefits
