Weldzilla, nice overclock at 4.6Ghz - hope it lasts. Running an E8400 at 1.58v in Windows is crazy IMO. Your CPU will surely degrade. I will admit you have guts. You're in my prayers for sure! Though it's amazing how well the E8400 overclocks - best CPU I've ever owned.
See "E8400 Crapped out! YAY!!!!" Thread:

Notes: E8400 max recommended operational voltage is 1.365v. Absolute Maximum voltaage is 1.45v after which "neither functionality nor long-term reliability can be expected. Moreover, if a device is subjected to these conditions for any length of time then, when returned to conditions within the functional operating condition limits, it will either not function, or its reliability will be severely degraded."*
