    I believe there is a minimum Vcore that is locked...all the others should be fair game.

    Actually, you can go lower. Edit the .ini file within the folder that you have CPUID in. There are 3 values there: Min/Mid/Max FID Voltage with a number after it.

    The number isn't a voltage, but it corresponds to your voltage. I believe 1.113V corresponds to 22 so if you want to undervolt even more, just change them to 21 or lower if necessary. I, however, found my system got unstable afterwards so I just stayed at 1.113V.
