Bummer you can only vote once. Ordinarily its a good thing that the polls restrict one vote per poster...but in your case it will skew the histogram results as there are quite a few of us with >1 G0.
 
my VID was 1.275 when i got the chip and i swear it went down after i overclocked it... but ill check it when i get home...

OC: 3GHz
vcore: 1.275 in bios, 1.22 idle vista64, 1.19 full load IIRC during prime95 small

A while ago there was a thread on some other forum (honestly can't remember) where they were talking about the subject of VID and how Intel chips have some 6 VIDs in them for staging and sequencing TM1/TM2 voltage levels but the big question was which of the six did Coretemp read and was it consistent in always reading the same one all the time.

The concensus was that Coretemp was reliable, good enough for forum work, but that sometimes it could get confused and report one of the other 5 stored VID values.

This is all by fuzzy foggy memory, take it for what its worth.

Which is why I am glad I started without a poll, and added it later. The first post I left updated..I picked the VID in the middle for mine.

Oh, and I was going to see if (as a mod) I could edit the poll and add the number so far, but to no avail.....It won't matter if we can get 50 replies.
 
VID 1.325 on my G0 using an Intel 975xbx2 board and got it up to 9x340 @ 3.06. Stable @ 9x333 @ 3.0. VID was set to 1.4125. Could'nt get past this as I think it was the Ram (linked I think). Come Thursday, My Gigabyte GA-EP35C-DS3R will be here and I will do more test.


Update: 2nd Q6600 @ 1.262v On the Gigabyte GA-EP35C-DS3R @ 3.4 OC.
1st Q6600 @ 1.325 on the Intel XBX2 @ 3.1 OC. Cpuz doesnt report any voltage other than Vid on these boards.

Man how things have changed since this original post! 🙂
 
ok, there ARE multiple VID's depending on stuff...

im overclocked at 333x9 which is 3GHz and my VID is 1.275 at that speed... and was at stock of 266x9

now it sitting at 333x6 since i have that speedstep or whatever enabled and the VID 1.1625

is it multiplier dependent?

I noticed this also in CPUZ. I drops for a split second then jumps back up? But mine drops to 1.163

Should give you all u need to know Mark.

mmm... good question. Im guessing it would be because how else would the motherboard know what cpu voltage to drop it to on the 6x multi.

my G0 chip is VID 1.30 bought it last year just when the G0 came out.

3.4ghz with 1.38v real Idling/ 1.4v in bios - 1.34v real LOAD/ 1.4v in bios



BELOW IS THE WORST CHIP I HAVE SEEN TO MAKE YOU ALL FEEL BETTER!
just built this rig for a friend within the last few weeks.

my friends brand new G0 rig is VID 1.325

he can't get to 3.2 without putting over 1.4v into it. he runs at 3.0 and ill check his volts but its not a good chip.
Click to expand...

that does make me feel little better =)
but also feel sorry for your friend for getting a crappy chip...
 
Mine is G0, vid = 1.325

Can run 3.0ghz at stock voltage (1.264 at idle after droop)

I can run 3.4ghz stable at 1.41 (real) but that was a little high for my taste.

That's a crazy amount of Vdroop. What mobo you using?

I had a DS3L go bad on me, the Vdroop went crazy high like yours. I RMA'ed it and it turned out to have a blown VRM (?) or such, one of those components that sits near the socket and would be under the passive heatsink if it weren't a budget board like the DS3L.

That's with my GA-P35C-DS3R. It actually only has .015-.020v of vdroop, IIRC. It just has the worst vdrop (what you call voffset) of any board I've ever seen.

OK I went and looked it up. Checkout page 20.

http://download.intel.com/desi.../datashts/31559205.pdf

The processor uses six voltage identification signals, VID[7:0], to support automatic
selection of power supply voltages. Table 2 specifies the voltage level corresponding to
the state of VID[7:0]. A ?1? in this table refers to a high voltage level and a ?0? refers to
a low voltage level. If the processor socket is empty (VID[7:0] = 11111111), or the
voltage regulation circuit cannot supply the voltage that is requested, it must disable
itself. The Voltage Regulator-Down (VRD) 11.0 Processor Power Delivery Design
Guidelines For Desktop LGA775 Socket defines VID [7:0], VID7 and VID0 are not used
on the processor; VID0 and VID7 are strapped to VSS on the processor package. VID0
and VID7 must be connected to the VR controller for compatibility with future
processors.

I thought the nomenclature was Voffset...never heard/read of "Vdrop" before.

http://www.anandtech.com/cpuch...howdoc.aspx?i=3184&p=5

Specifically referring to Voffset as Anandtech uses it in this graph: http://images.anandtech.com/re...2/transient_vdroop.jpg

Woudln't Intel have asked for Anandtech to correct their article if it was incorrect? Where does the term "Vdrop" come from?
 
I can't remember, but I saw it somewhere also, defined as vdrop between bios and idle, vs vdroop is idle to load.

One note: Since bios to idle is two different measuring "software", its sort of apples to oranges comparison (bios could be reading incorrectly ?) , but using exactly the same software for idle to load, vdroop is real !

I know Intel specs say VID as low as 0.85V is possible...can you imagine getting such a gem? There is probably a grand total of zero of them in existance at that VID...but such is what makes for good dreams!
 
I got a pretty low VID 1.2125, but it's pretty hard for me to get it to high speeds.
I can basically do 2.7 Ghz at a vcore of 1.225, but I've got to crank the vcore up to 1.33 to get stable at 3.0Ghz.
I can't say if it's the CPU or not though since I picked up an Abit IB9 mobo for $30 that probably isn't very good at OCing quads (though I've heard it can do 400 fsb for duos).

It's proably the motherboard. I have the same VID on a DS3L mobo and i think at 3ghz, i was in the low 1.2v
 
The motherboard does make a difference. My B3 Q6600 (one of them) could only do 3 ghz on my ASUS P5K, then I replaced it with a DQ6, and its up to 3320 !
