can i know what is lowest stable vcore for 955BE?
i had google it and found various result

haha, each chips are unique, you have to find out yourself.
so far i got see forumer here stable on 3.2ghz at 1.2v.
you can refer to this post:

TDP rely heavily on vCore. Just buy the 955BE C3 stepping and manually lower the voltage. With that you instantly get lower TDP. I could get it stable at 1.2V, maybe lower.
One thing I noticed is my CPU voltage drops over time. Before this I can't get any lower than 0.7V at 800MHz idle or it'll immediate freezing, now I could reduce it to 0.65V, its the same as during load, at stock 3.2GHz it once stable at 1.25V, now its rock stable at 1.2V. Another thing, my NB frequency could be rises higher at same voltage as well, and stable at 2.8GHz from 2.6GHz.
Calculated TDP is around 98.76W at load (3.2GHz 1.2V) while at idle its at mere 8.45W (800MHz 0.65V)
