Lower vcore with new mobo ?

[Dicehunter]

So when I had the Sabertooth Z87 I had to put in 1.30 to get my overclock of 4.80GHZ, Nothing on that board would let me go lower even though it is a rock solid board.

Originally I had it at 1.28 but found it was unstable in certain benchmarks and 1.30 fixed all that.

I recently switched to the Maximus VI Formula and now I can have 1.27 running all the same benchmarks etc... fully stable.

Now I understand that better components equals a better experience but what exactly enables this i.e which component/s ?

Caps,Mosfets,Power Delivery, and the quality of all these.

the maximus range also have better LLC and overall way better contacts etc its similar to the difference between the Gigabyte OC board and a standard ud3.. the sabertooth range are made for aesthetics more than anything great boards though

another comparision is my my z77g45 standard i now have the gaming version same issue on my standard board i needed 1.325v for 4.5ghz stable now on my gaming board it only needs 1.28 for the same clock! the heat syncs are also better hope this helps!
