this is just my opinion but every cpu that ive owned has had 1 or 2 stuck sensors,mind you i have not owned a lot (4 intel in total).but i dont think the stuck sensors have anything to do with how well they OC,there are just poorly designed sensors.now to the low vid.out of the four cpus,one e8400's vid was 1.22 and it OCed about the same as the other cpu's which were all 1.25.the only real difference was the low vid ran alot hotter.so i was happy when my 9650 arrived and it was 1.25 at least it wouldnt run so hot.and like zucker2k said you cant buy a chip and just because its the same exact batch # and vid as anothers user who managed a very high OC at low volts,does not mean it will perform the exact same for you.too many variables to be considered(board,psu,cooling,ram,and user).just look back in this thread where everyone thought that only the B chips could achieve the extreme clocks.that was not 100% true,but at the time people were buying and sending back chips because they were A chips.now remember just an opinion.
