what's default vcore should be ?

i don't think there is a default vid for cpus with vcore on AUTO my i7 920 with HT enabled and Turbo disabled vcore defaults to 1.16v. With HT and Turbo disabled it defaults to 1.24v when set to AUTO vcore.




maybe HT isn't really needed ?

Right now running TmpgEnc Express 4 and Authoring Works 4 on 15.7GB DVR-MS raw video record file converting it to DVD-video @19x211 = 4009Mhz at 1.328v with no probs. 5hr raw video takes 71mins to convert to dvd-video and 53mins to convert to DIVX with HT enabled and source raw file on 750GB Samsung SATAII hdd. With HT disabled and source file on single 32GB OCZ Core V1 SSD, DIVX conversion took 43mins - nearly 10mins faster
