45nm VID (E3110)

[espslyxerx2]

So, I have a E3110 with a VID of 1.1875v according to Core Temp.

Is this high or low compared to what people are getting for the 45nm cpus, in particular e8400 and e3110.

Its currently OC'ed to 4.23 ghz with 1.375 Volts.

I haven't studied the VID of the new chips, but from what I have seen, they range from 1.1000 upward. The QX7700 is 1.2500. Thats odd for a new chip. But it makes it that more obvious that Intel now takes their good VIDs and technically factory OCs them.

IE, if you take a 9450 with a VID of 1.1000 and up the speed from 2.66 to 3.2 it honestly wouldn't take much in the line of extra VCore. So instead of you taking the chip and adding the extra .0750 that it may need for 3.2 stable.

Intel decided to take it and re VID it at 1.2500 WELL within the range it needs for 3.2! As a matter of fact, then allow a lot of over kill, just so they have ZERO problems throughout its warranty period of three years.
