Please help UNconfuse me (Q6600)

[Insidious]

I recently built two Q6600 computers to replace my old machines.

I am using the GA-X38-DQ6 motherboard in each of them. (both are the same revision)

When I am in the tweaking seciton of BIOS (Version F6, 11-6-07) for each I see that the "normal" core voltage is not the same for the two systems.

One machine is reporting normal Vcore = 1.2875 and the other is reporting normal Vcore = 1.3125

both are reporting Family 6, model F, stepping B, revision G0 from CPU-Z

Does anyone know if it is "normal" for CPUs with the same identification (G0 in this case) to report different CPUVid?

What does yours report?

Thanks in advance for any light you can shed

My Q6600 has a VID of 1.3000V according to CoreTemp. If I've read correctly here and about, the VID can range from ~1.2000-1.3500V.
So in my opinion, yes CPU's of the same stepping/revision can have different default voltages.

yes two identical CPU's, of the same revision and the same batch, can have different VIDs. no 2 dice are the same.

Thanks for helping put my mind at ease.... didn't know if there was a reason for worry or not.

hence why i keep telling people no two chips will ever overclock the same. One will always be able to outdue the other even from the same batch.

A little OT, but thanks

The two E2140s I got from microcenter overclocked exactly the same. Same VID, same voltage required for stability.

derived from core2 technology. the oc is literally guaranteed.
