Core i7: high leakage & average chips @ low VID & high VID
I just got an interesting chip that draw more current than a normal one so I might share something here. Well people might call them hot chip/high leakage chip whatsoever. I was never lucky enough to got one before that is very noticeable:p:. When I set at 4GHz (HT on) nothing fishy going on but I did notice it a bit hotter than normal one.

When I set 4.5xGHz(HT off) the idle temp smells. I thought it the IHS but after 4 remount it still the same. Then I watch the watt meter and the power draw from the system is higher than before I swap the cpu.

And below are ss from the average chip.

The VID of the leaky one is 1.19375V and the average one is 1.25625V. Both oc pretty much the same but I got hard time setting the leaky one at 217x21 on prime given that every chip is different due to fabrication process.
