Upper Middle VID, hehee!
1.1750 would be the middle one in his series. Remember, the range is 1.1000 to 1.2500 on the 45 NM chips like his 8400.
For the 65 NM chips like the Q6600, its 1.2000 to 1.3250.
But hell yeah that would have made a good VID for a q6x00! A few steps lower than they come!
So far, looking over all the threads in different forums, the 1.1125 volt Q9450 is the best one! And that was from some where in our forum!
Most of the other forums do not believe in the power of VID. And further, some think its the batch that matters. Funny thing, that, because the chip is just a chip with batch info before it is tested. Only after they test does it get assigned a VID.
I have made sure to look up batch info on the new chips I get, and even my last Q6700. Looked up the batch info, and all was negative, and the lowest VID people reported was a friend of some guy had a 1.2750 VID chip, the rest were 1.3250.
But mine was a 1.2250. ::Shrugs:: Got me!
As far as I can tell, its the exact opposite. VID matters, and batch number is just there to know where the source of the chip was, and when.
