Is this a common problem or should I return this board for another one is 1.6xv safe for 24/7 use? I read that anything over 1.64v could cause degradation or death with these 45nm chips.

BTW, I got my Q9650 up to 4.4ghz @ 1.36v SS are in the Q9650 thread.
Am I invisible, has this been discussed, or is it that nobody cares?
