I have a Gigabyte EP35-DS3L motherboard (F4 BIOS) and I've had an E8400 in it for the past 4 years. I just recently bought a used Q9550 from a fellow AT Forum member. CPU works great... I say great because it has been running fine while undervolted quite a bit. VID for this CPU (C1 revision) is 1.2500. Right now with the CPU basically idle, Core Voltage is displayed in CPU-Z as 1.232V. When I start up 4 Prime95 threads it drops to 1.200. This is with the voltage set in the BIOS to over 1.26
My question is, is it more likely that this is a motherboard problem, a power supply problem, or a CPU problem?
