I don't think there's any falacy here, a lot of denial though. : )

Maybe but it's not mine, my Xeon 3110 runs the same voltage at the same OC's. I think the power issues are alot of it. I have a 1000 watt PSU and my mobo is pencil droop modded, my voltage doesn't spike or dip at all during OCCT. Not a single notch


It's not only lower vcore and high fsb. It's that and fine tuning GTL/FSB term.

Same thing, why would you need less vcore at the same speed? Once the GTL/FSB is tuned there should be no difference between 445 x 9 and 500 x 8.
