Very nice Jor3lBr , miss seeing your posts in this thread.
So as long as it stays in the low to mid 60's C in stress testing, then volts don't matter or won't hurt it? I have an E8500 E0 VID 1.250 that seems to want above 1.45 (BIOS) to get 8.5 or 9 x 500fsb stable. I haven't tried any higher to get it to work cause I'm afraid of the volts killing my CPU.

So I want to know if it's the volts or the heat? If I keep heat under control, do the volts even matter?
