    Misleading Q6600 voltage from CPU-Z... Did the seller cheat to sell his high VID CPU?

    Guys I would really value your opinions on this. Look at the voltage vs. frequency in this CPU-Z screen from an ebay listing which caught my eye - its said to be in a Gigabyte X48 DQ6 board:



    I looked and thought, yeah that thing must have a really low VID if it is running at 2.4GHz with 1.120v (I'm sure anybody would think the same), so I bought the thing only to find that it has a 1.3125 VID. Even at 1600MHz with C1E it drops no lower than 1.168v when I run CPU-Z.

    Basically what I'm asking is this: is it possible that BIOS set this voltage on auto, or must this voltage have been set manually (at quite some trouble too)?

    Or is it most likely that this is a different chip altogether, not the chip that the seller had in his posession?

    If someone with a 1.2000 VID could check CPU-Z voltage at 2.4GHz that'd be great.
