OK. Thanks.
BTW is the VID something that is printed on the outside of the box or do you have to install it and read it in SW?
Funny thing. Coretemp reports my VID as 1.1125V and if I set BIOS to auto then that is what is reported by monitoring programs. For some weird reason Realtemp 2.5 reports VID as 1.2250V. Not sure why.
In my experience, the only accurate tools for measuring vid is coretemps and everest. No it's not printed anywhere, you only know once the chip is installed if new, if buying used, say from Flea Bay I always ask the seller to confirm before I bid. Vid is less inmportant in anycase with 45nm chips as the parametres are much narrower, for an example the E8200 probable will only have a vid range between (at a guess) 1.050 - 1.175 but if you take for example, the 65nm Q6600 Kentsfield, the Vid range for that chip throughout it's history will read something like 1.150 0 1.375v.
