From what I saw in the VRD11 datasheet VID6 which has a value of -.400V. (from 1.6125V.) is always high on LGA1366 and then excluded from what the CPU can select. It looks like the MSI mother board BIOS uses pull down resistors on the Voltage regulator to create an offset from whatever CPU Voltage is already there. So the Voltage IS fixed on the unlocked LGA1366 CPUs. At least as far as OEM systems are concerned. It looks like any changes will need to be done in hardware. I wonder if the W3690 is just binned higher than the W3680, or if it could have a higher VID setting also?
Can Throttlestop still reduce the Voltage on these CPUs if it was modded a little too high?
