it may be worth mentioning that the 3.3V voltage is not reported by EVEREST, is reported by speedfan as 0.0 (which must mean it can't get the value?) and shows in the bios as 3.9V... this lead me to believe at least that sensor is faulty, since apparently EVEREST and speedfan have problems with it... but then again, i may be wrong.

ps. wolfdale is 45nm.
I realise wolfdale is 45nm, thats why I said not even 65nm, as 65nm safe daily voltage is higher being a bigger process.

Dw about the 3.3, thats not whats going to kill CPU, when in bios, what does bios report in the HW monitor? as your vcore?

Just a thought but try Asus PC probe, probably was supplied on your drivers disk.

Also, what BIOS are you running?
