AFAIK, Intel actually released "safe" voltages...1.65V was the highest reccommended for a stable system running 24/7.
I didn't have any trouble with mine. I'm running the Eclipse with missmatched Kingston DIMMs (2x 2000MHz 9-9-9-24 & 1x 1833MHz 8-8-8-24). They worked first time on auto...and I'm currently benching with them at 1600MHz 7-7-7-18 1T with 1.75V.
These i7's are really nice with memory it seems. They don't seem to need near as much voltage as on the older x48/P45 chipsets.
