Q9400 owners - OC, VID, and Voltages

[krazynutz]

Anyone who owns a Q9400, can you list your OC, your CPU's VID, and what voltage (in BIOS) you're using for a 24-hr Prime95 stable OC?

Here's Mine. It seems high. Shouldn't it take a lot less voltage to get to just 3.2Ghz?

OC: 3.2Ghz (400x8)
VID: 1.2375v
Volt: 1.3125v

Mine is at 3.4GHz, cpu-z says 1.232v.

I'm not patient enough to run prime95 that long. When I assembled the machine I would run prime95 for about 20 minutes and watch the temps, then up it another increment and go again.

At 3.68GHz it ran prime95 with temps in the low to mid 40's.

At 3.76GHz when I came back to it after 20 minutes, prime95 was no longer running, but there were no error messages. I was a little worried about it then so I stoped pushing it. I had already decided that 3.2GHz or 3.4GHz was what I wanted for daily use so there was no reason for me to spend a lot of time trying to determine what it would really do.

I should have specified. I corrected my initial question. What did you set your voltage to in your BIOS? Mine says 1.216-1.232v in cpu-z as well during stress testing.
