I just got a Q9450, and it came with default VID of 1.20v. The box said 1.25v max, which seems to be upper limit on default VID. I'm wondering what's the lowest default one? Typically the VID value determines the chip's ability to overclock.

err, half yes and half no.

I have an ES whose VID is 1.250 and would spank fsb wise 90% of all the Q9450 owners on this board. :p

I'm not sure about what vid im suppose to have but I've seen it at .9500v at times, sometimes as low as .9200v even with this at 3.6Ghz (8400)
