Hey Neal hows it going. Yes for me it's very hard to tell because of the different mobo's and settings used. I bought my first G0 (L723A891) with a Core Temp vid of 1.3000v and it took 1.6000 vcore to get it stable @3.6 Ghz. Exchanged that chip in short order and picked up a L726A850 with a Core Temp VID of 1.2650 and it's stable @ 3.6 Ghz with Bios set to 1.4150 (bios) and 1.3840 under prime large FFT load. Up vcore one notch for small FFT, 1.4250 (bios). 1.4080 (load). Voltage damper enabled. With the good chips this seems about average. There seems to be more good chips than not so good atm. One thing that is becoming apparent to me is the higher the Core Temp VID the more trouble people have getting them stable at higher clocks. The best chips I have seen is with a VID between 1.2500 and 1.2875 but that's not written in stone either. This thread should give you an idea of how much it varies.
