I know what you mean. The first Q6600 I had was 1.3125v VID, and it clocked worse than a lot of the 1.325s out there.

My new chip is a 1.2125v VID L743A .

Keep in mind that VID doesn't determine everything. Some 1.2750s clock as well as 1.225/1.2125 and Vice-Versa. But once you get to 1.3v+ VID 99% you'll have a bad Oc'er.
