This is the reason Intel is charging more for a 65W line of Q9450s... these processors used to be in the standard line of Q9450s, but Intel decided to take advantage of the situation and segregate the ones with extremely low power consumption from the average ones.

Also, low VID chips are generally better because low VID chips have a trend of scaling better, as all chips have a point where the voltage scaling goes from linear to exponential-low VID chips stay in the range of acceptable voltage longer.


I still want some proof of your thoughts. I just do not understand how a lower VID is going to have higher temps.

So again can we see some proof??????
