**Official ABIT IP-35 Pro Review/Overclock/Guide Thread**

[fornowagain]

good show!

the temps or DTS readings are off the way...a wide variance in readouts...they, intel, must have a problem with the 45nm chips to get consistent temp readings....if you are happy with the overclock, don't worry about the temp to much....

my replacement 9650 has a low VID and about 7C spread between the coretemps...AND...it doesn't like high vcore AT ALL!

Looks ok, haven't cranked it up to find the limit yet, very happy in the IP35 though. 4GHz stable at 1.36v, VID is 1.0375v no idea if that's good for a 45nm. Temps on water in 25C room have settled down around 51C now, runs quite cool considering. 4GB of ballistix as well.

Can anyone share what is reference voltage for?

Which one are you referring too? In general a reference voltage is a fixed voltage that doesn't change regardless of the device loading. The VID is a reference loadline voltage, means it changes on a slope (thermal profile)or line if its enabled. The vcore follows the loadline.
