Mine VID is 1,225V and batch Q816A678. Although it doesn't heat a lot. At 1.376V max temperatures 64 C with air cooling. So lot guys here with earlier batches that need less voltage for 4,0 GHz but their temperatures go like wild...
My 8400 is exactly like yours.

4ghz with 1.376v.... But this one goes up to 71c even with watercooling
As soon as I boot for the first time, the time it takes me to enter the bios the Temperature already shows 38º

waterblock contact is perfect, so...... why so hot lol
