same here my E8500 was running @1.4 VFSB for a long time now (3 month or more) , 0 problem and 0 degradation , this on p5b-e plus now the same on biostar Tpower I45
Moreover for some reason My Asus p965 gives automatically this processor 1.5 v (VFSB ) while i am over 500 mhz FSB , if i left the setting in auto.
So i can say that 1.5v also will not kill soon the E8500 at least for over one week loaded maybe , but some benching and long priming was done @ 1.5v (i was lazy to get in the bios and set this back to 1.4 v witch was plenty enough:-) )
railmeat : was is your max memory clock with CL 5 ?
