This was on air (Thermalright Ultra 120A - not the TRUE, but the model down) and the temps were said to be 65-70c after a few hours of SETI.

It was running at 3.6Ghz but recently he says he's dropped it to 3.5Ghz.

Is this chip likely to die in the next year or so?
Wait what? 1.85V for 3.6GHz? Something is a bit wrong here. You sure you haven't misspelled anything?

Anyway CPUs don't die that easily, especially 65nm. And most people don't run higher than 1.6V because the temperatures get out of hand.
