I dont understand my QX9650 as I can run it at Stock speed at around 1.08vcore full load no problems, yet when I start to overclock it, the damn thing needs stupid volts to get to go anywhere..

I'm running at 4Ghz and it appears stable at the moment but I have to set the vcore in the bios at 1.5v and even then its only drawing off 1.38vcore in speedfan (its the only program that reads the temps the same as the bios does) when under load!!

If I try to run anything further it does require some big voltage.. I managed a run at 4.4Ghz which required me to set it at 1.6750vcore (or so) in the bios, but even then under a load, it was pulling just 1.53vcore.. This board gives me the most applauing Vdroop and trying to overclock on it (its a 780i XFX board) isnt the nicest thing in the world...

One of the guys mentioned in a thread I'd posted said that he could get his QX to 4Ghz with just 1.26vcore!! I was drooling when I heard this and when its come to mine, it just sucks!!
Mind you I dont think the temp probes help a heck of a lot...
