Ok, Ok, I will speak easy here as to not, offend you but, I said clearly and even put a comma in front of it for the pause so people would think before they speak "VDrop" not, droop. I am not concerned with my VDroop and yes, I know about all the technical stuff. I read up on all of that. My damn cooling is not good enough for 5GHz! I am on air here man, read my sig.

The chip starts shooting up to high temp wise when I set it to use the load line past a certain point but, I am using it at the point right before it makes my CPU temps go to high "90s" which is @ 1.3475 or something really close to that number. Anything higher then the before mentioned Voltage setting and it sky rockets.

When I set my CPU voltage without the Load Line I have to set the CPU voltage to 1.4v to get 1.280 some times under load and it stays at idle at 1.342v, thus my VDrop of sorry my math was off I see now, .058v . I set it to use load line at 1.3475v and I get a constant of 1.296 which keeps everything stable under full load. I hit 81C under full load with Intel burntest with load line turned on at that, voltage.

I know for a fact my, gtl happy spots have changed on me because I wrote all the settings down before I cleared the CMOS after lapping my CPU. I had everything set in my BIOS manually, it took me about 24hrs total time to get everything perfect before clearing that CMOS after lapping my CPU.

Don't be mean like I know absolutely nothing because I am fairly experienced when it comes to over clocking. I do not claim to know everything but, I am fairly well off knowledge wise compared to many. I help people when I can and ask questions when I need advise.

Now you know what I am saying more clearly tell me what you think and thank you.

Highroller that was not direct to you, sorry but you missed interpreted It was a fun remark directed to some people that never tried hard enough, complains all the time and come in this thread to take and never give.

Now to get to your questions, if that big difference is the case I would leave Load Line Calib. enabled to reduce that gap.

Questions: After all that change and after lapping your cpu have you flashed your bios to try different versions? If so you might have flashed a newer BIOS with the new RAID firmware and those (1.20E) impact stability too.

Another factor is temps. Q9650 above 60oC will throw out unreliable results when it comes to Priming. Lapping will also have a direct impact on this sometimes a negative one.

I never seen Ref's on the same board changing, only if something significant within that same board has changed too (ex. weak capacitor, banged smd etc).
