Vid???

I was using CoreTemp version I can't remember (I think one before the latest one) to test my VID and temps for awhile, and I checked my VID on my new Q9650, which showed 1.15VID.

But then, I downloaded the new 99.3 version, which corrected the TJMax from 105c to 100c, but my VID is now showing 1.2625

I have checked every discussion of the Yorkfields, and the max VID of Q9650 is 1.25VID.

Does anyone have any answers to this?

Make sure you check the VID when the CPU is under load if you have speedstep on. Having that on and the CPU idling can make for some really low VID readings.

That's not always the case. My VID isn't 1.13v, that's what the auto CPU voltage sets it at.

VID doesn't change with an overclock. Only thing that I've heard of changing it is bringing up core temp with the CPU idle and C1E on.

That sucks. I thought I got a winner, yet I crapped out! Spoke too soon I guess. The funny thing is I rechecked with CoreTemp 98.1 and it still gives me 1.15VID. I dunno...
This thing does OC well (4.14Ghz at 1.3v so far), but I can't seem to pass Blend test Prime95, only Small FFT for 4 hours and still counting.
I think it's my RAM but I will have to see...
