    VID stands for Voltage ID, which is a value the motherboard uses to set a specific core voltage (in short, its not the actual VCore reading).

    The VID is the Vcore required for your particular CPU to run stable and the stated speeds/specs.  The VID range for your cpu is 0.85-1.3625.  This means, that you can have any vcore as low as 0.85 and as high as 1.3625 for that particular model cpu to run at the stated speeds/specs by Intel.  The lower the VID, usually means the better the overclocking potential a CPU has because technically, you have more room to raise your Vcore when overclocking before you hit the upper voltage limit.  Just because your CPU states a 1.3v VID, you may still be able to lower it below that and be stable.  It is just a "failsafe" setting to make sure the CPU will run at the stated speeds/specs.
