This batch sucks. It isn't worth the extra money to spend to swap the CPU from a Q9450@3.72GHz to a Q9650@4.05GHz.

Pack date says 06/04/09 batch L846B794 VID 1.2875. That isn't one of the new that are available at the moment. This CPU isn't worth to be a Retail it should have been a OEM version.
I got your CPU's big brother two days ago - Same batch, same VID and packed a day earlier and it is totally crap

Wish you all the best in getting a better one - I've tried three this week - An L845, L846 and now L847 and the lowest VID is 1.2625 that I have had.
