Honestly i dont think we can trust the Voltage/Temp readings on the E8400. There are way to many discrepencies thoughout the forums on many sites. But basically who cares if i gets fried? The chip costs less than 250 bucks. Just get another one. Not like the AMD FX60 i got back in 2006 that cost over a grand. POS!! Compared to this. So im just gonna crank the hell out of it.
