My image is for a 65nm XEON and has nothing to do with 45nm ones, and that just happens to be MY VID.
Yeah, I have seen and use RealTemp, But My temps are fine so I dont even look at them, every once in a while I will watch them in Everest, but since I own a license I can see all options in everest, so I use it for everything
As for you VID of 1.15, all that means is your CPU has been overclock tested by intel to be guaranteed to run at stock speed with 1.15 Voltage. it is in now way a limit, and is in now way stating that you absolutely have to use that to run stock. They often raise it a bit to ensure stability.
Ill have my Xeon E3110 Monday so By Monday night I will be able to tell you my VID and then what I need per my chip to run 4Ghz or so

I didn't get into this in the other thread so as not to hijack it so I will share my questions here.
You said that Core Temp gives the chip's vcore and on my E8400 chip it reads. 1.0375.
Real Temp vid 1.15v
Cpu-Z core voltage 1.056v
Everest core voltage 1.038
GA-P35-DS3L F8a bios
PC Health Status Vcore 1.076
MIT CPU Voltage Control 1.10
Before I set voltage control to 1.10v
MIT Normal CPU Vcore 1.15v
PC Health Status Vcore 1.204v
Now I uderstand each chip has its own vcore set at the factory and is not a limit to what the chip will take to become stable at overclock speeds and there is vdroop when the chip is being monitored but which is which???
Since the chip has its own vcore shouldn't the bios be set to this voltage if not overclocking???
The Intel Data sheet specifies different types of vcore, requiring different voltages, which I want to understand but haven't read the whole data sheet document yet. Maybe you know of a source or document that can explain this to a layman???
BTW Unclewebb, creator of RealTemp, specifically states and I quote:
"Better yet, just forget about temperatures. That's the least of ones worries with these chips. There's a huge amount of temperature head room, even when grossly overclocked.
With Penryn, it's voltage headroom that people need to watch. Sorry for getting off topic but I thought this is info that overclockers need to know."
Not that core temps are that important but he makes a good case that both CoreTemp and Everest are reading them 10C too high for the 45nm chips. Everest lastest beta is now allowing Tjmax to be adjusted in preferences.
