Just got back from o/c'ing my mates Q9650 1.225VID. So far so good and its done 4410Mhz P95 blend stable (overnight run) but the chip runs hot...i think its the tradeoff with a lower VID chip. So he is running it at 4.3Ghz atm @ 1.36v (dual back to back 30 run IBT stable, P95 not yet tested but P95 shouldn't be any problems )

Anyone else with a 1.225VID that runs say 5-10c hotter @ same volts vs a 1.25VID. I think they definetly have more o/c potential than there higher VID brothers but offset is strong cooling required
It's not hearsay it's what I've seen from personal experience so far.

I guess if you get a new small boxed Q9650 that has 1.225VID and no stuck sensors that should be good.
