I am sitting in the Fry's cafe. I had the guy in the cage write down the batch #'s of the ones they have.
I found this one: L741A963. Someone stated it had a VID of 1.2125. (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...7&postcount=16)
I'm thinking I should get that one, and not risk getting a high 737B, since they are reported to be 1.35v.
What does everyone think?
I just plugged in the L741A963 and CoreTemp tells me it is 1.2000v.
Is that right?

Giacomo: Yes, I did.
Then I think you're damn lucky.
Clock it.

Why do you think it is different than what the other user posted. Shouldn't it be 1.21? I am using the same batch.
Does this have anything to do with droop?
Such a low VID is a very good thing to overclocking the beast. Mine is 1.3V, as you can read in my signature I need to pump a very high 1.55V to reach 3.78GHz. Maybe yours will manage to reach that speed with 1.45V or so (if you have proper cooling to run it).
Vdroop is an another thing, it's the voltage decrease when the CPU is under load (difference between idle Vcore and load Vcore).

You have a VID=1.200v, every Batch# is different, that why folks should show the whole Batch# and not just the week as in L741XXXX. You can get variation of the VID within week and certainly as you have noticed you can get variation within the same Batch#. In fact I have seen variation from 1.200v-1.2500v within the same Batch#, so as the saying goes it is still a crapshoot still applies.

Holy Mama! You got a great chip now you can catch me with that oneI just plugged in the L741A963 and CoreTemp tells me it is 1.2000v.

See a little searching won't harm anybody.
