It took me one hour to figure it all out. the VID_SELECT pin is for motherboard that has LGA775 and wants to support old and new CPUs. Intel introduced the bit already for older Celeron D http://www.intel.com/design/celeron/datashts/304092.htm Page 69 clarifies it all. They already reserved enough bits for VID, using just 5 of them. With the VID_SEL bit they will just do what we do in software to detect the VRM version. So => we dont care about this bit. As for the Extended VRD 10.0: it just adds one more bit do be able to fine grain the 5bit VID. And because my patch already rounds it we should not care about this too. All in all we dont need to do anything special unless we switch to uV as return value. I will resend the patch in the moment with updated VRM11 stuff. Regards Rudolf
