TERRIBAD.
I have one unfortunately. It has a horrible VID of 1.25 which really hurts in trying to OC.

Guess since its one of the really later batches they're starting to get crappy. :bang head
 
Wow, this thing would not BUDGE over 3040 Mhz stable for ORTHOS on 1.3V load. Kept returning a rounding error. Temps were down, but this things did NOT want to clock at all.

Pumping volts into it didn't help much either :/
 
I have a Q811A061, 9.0 x 333 = 3GHz and it worked fine. Just tried 8.0 x 400 = 3.2GHz and i got a missing kernal error, rebooted and the OC didn't stay (back down to 2.53GHz). I have my CPU Voltage set to Auto...any suggestions?

Increase to voltage, it takes about at least 1.30V to get to 4.0Ghz, never go over 1.4V
 
Auto will vastly over compensate, I've had it hit 1.5V on occasion.
 
Depends on your chip ;)

I only need 1.1V load for 3Ghz stable.

For 3Ghz on a decent batch I'd start at 1.15V and keep upping it till you get stability.

Hazaro...
The 1.1V for 3GHz, is that what you set in BIOS or what CPUZ reports your at under load? For instance, I'm set at 1.2V in BIOS but CPUZ reports 1.168V, and I'm at 2.85GHz, maybe I could drop it a bit more. System did do 3.8GHz at 1.24V in CPUZ, but I've no need to run it that fast.

EDIT: My CPU batch is Q752A631, pack date 04/07/08.
