Two E6750s ordered from the same source. One with a stock voltage of 1.25v, the other with a stock voltage of 1.35v. Both used on the same motherboard, same cooler (AC Freezer 7 Pro). The lower voltage chip overclocks much better than the other.

What's going on here?

Yes. But I guess my question is, how am I supposed to tell which one I'm buying?

That's where luck comes in. No way to know.

Well that's just dandy, a game of luck. Pfft. Intel needs to have two separate versions. I've seen it done with some AMD processors.

That would defeat the entire purpose of binning.
