Probably not, what are you using for a cooler and what types of temps are you seeing? I ran an e8400 at some pretty high temps (close to 80C under linpack load) for a few months and never saw a hint of voltage degradation. These chips are pretty hearty. I would be willing to bet that most people with degradation issues are those people that think that it's OK to run an OC 24/7 with everything set to auto which is a surprising amount of people.

Anyways, when I went to 8GB I found that a custom Prime run set to this where memory to use is your max available ram caused the fastest errors which really helps when tweaking. You'll see what I mean. I hope that it helps you as much as it did me. If you can run small fft fine then your cpu is in the ballpark but need to worry about the MCH.
