For all you VID doubters out there, I have a LOW, mid and high VID G0 q6600. (1.2000, 1.2625, 1.3000) And with out a doubt the lower one is insanely awesome! I decided I was bored and did a whopping hour of actual testing! While my results are far from conclusive, it gives you a general idea of the power of VID!
First, I measured the temps in my room, I seem to favor 81 degrees, so I opened the door and it liked 70, so 21c is where I left the temps, and adjusted via air if the temps went up or down. Then I fired up the 1.2000 at stock and took the readings with all but Core temp, because I forgot to start in disable driver signature mode. The VCore is amazing, how low its stock settings are, and the temps on a miss seated TRUE with one Kaze fan. Look at those Temps!

Now after peeking at stock settings. (Stock settings for the RAM and CPU. MB options adjusted properly. 3.6 was still stock on ram, and just fsb of 400 with the x 9 multi. Very simple and basic. MoBo is a P5k-e wifi, power is an 850 thermaltake. Ram, 1066 GSkill 5-5-5-15) I decided to just jump straight to 3.6 and was targeting a 1.3250 Loaded VCore. Just to be at the highest VID rated processor. (Looks like it goes from 1.18 to 1.3250 max. With about 20 steps between in VID's.) I actually made a mistake and didnt enable load line calibration which partially corrects the vdroop, thats why its so Low!! I DID NOT think that it would last 10 seconds fully loaded at that VCore!

3.6 Loaded: http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd5/Lupiron/loaded36LOWVolttest.jpg
The temps speak for themselves. I dont need to say anything more than try and set your VCore to droop that low when fully loaded and see for yourself what happens! I will add to this as I get time for longer testing and all that junk. But from the lil testing I did, WOW!!
And anyone knows that though it may not be stable for 8 hours that low, it wont take to much more, if it needs any! And anyone who tests will look and see that its pretty obvious. I LUCKED out with this VID! I am sooooo Happy!!
I Look forward to your thoughts.
