Also, e8XXX class cpus and other 45nanometer cpus are very sensitive to voltage, unlike their 65 nm counterparts. For all those that are scared of overclocking, you can leave, while we enjoy the benefits. Unless you're a total idiot, it's pretty hard to kill a computer by overclocking.

I don't really check voltage readings much. I just take it for granted that the voltage will be around the same I set it as. Vdroop isn't something I worry about because I have LLC on Auto (which means Enabled for practicality's sake). And I HAVE already read Anand's article on LLC so don't try and get me to disable it.
