cpuz reads almost spot on for Vcore on the IP35 Pro board...not so for my gigabyte X48 ddr3 board; it is about 0.05v difference...

protecting your processor from to much voltage is really a personal comfort zone about how much should be applied...it all depends how much investment you made and how long your objective is to keep the cpu.

i take the tactic of let it run until it stops and then replace it with a new or used cpu...i try not to run absurd high voltage but i do probably run it higher than most others are willing...i don't do 24/7 operations so i will use slightly more Vcore.
