Reading back to some old forum posts I book marked when I was building X58 systems, the stock base vcore by intel was something like 1.15 or 1.17, but many motherboard companies set the bios stock to 1.28 or 1.3 because it was well within safe operating range and would allow for Easy-OC tools to work better (just bump up the clock speeds and you're gtg on the OC). Running Stock speeds you could lower the vcore down to the 1.15 range before stock speeds were unstable.
Also, if you're looking at building a new rig, I HIGHLY recommend the 3570k with a Z77 mobo if you're just worried about gaming / standard non-professional applications.
USB 3.0, Sata III, and PCI-E 3.0 support, many cheap SLI motherboards, and the 3570k OCs to about 4.5 to 4.6ghz easy on air coolers.
2500k and 2550k OC to 5.0ghz on Air cooler, but clock for clock the 4.5 - 4.7ghz 3570k stands up to the 5.0ghz 2500k and you get to have nicer features that Ivy Bridge brings.
Running my 3570k on a triple rad loop at 5.0ghz and it's amazingly fast. Loving the Z77 board too.
Stock voltage was actually 1.3v. I am currently building a new rig just because, still debating on which cpu to get.
