All I know is that when I get my Q9450 on the 8th, I'm not going over 1.3625v
I guess you've damaged your board, not your CPU. If you damaged your CPU, the poor thing wouldn't even boot... at all. :p

And by the way, I thought 4400MHz was normal? Here are my results with an mATX board:



4500MHz would be stable at 1.55v, but I didn't bother using that much. Just thought I'd point this out.
