I decided to meddle around with my own i5. According to the BIOS, I'm running @4.6 @1.200V, but AIDA reports this as 1.216V under load, and 1.224V with Intel Burn Test running. These don't seem like unsafe voltages, but they're not what I typed in. Also, my IBT temps are higher than I'd like, with most cores averaging at 88°C, but one core peaking at 93°C. Temperatures under any other load are much lower, peaking at about 65°C (except the hot core, which peaked at 70°C, albeit briefly).
So I have a few things still to do:
See if I can get the peak voltage to be what I tell it to be.
See if it's still stable at lower voltages.
See if it'll go higher with the voltage just a little lower than its current level.
Wait for the (delayed) parts for my brother to arrive.
Also, I'm seeing the voltage go down when the CPU idles, but before the overclock, it would bring the clock speed down too. Should I meddle with stuff to try and 'fix' this, or is everything fine?

The voltage is never going to be exactly what you said it to, that's normal. If it ends up too high, just lower it a bit more than what you want it to end up at.

Exactly, there's nothing to worry about. When I overclocked my i7 3770K it was the same for me with the voltage.
Really? Loads of the guides I read said that it was a bad thing and to try and prevent it, but there was surprisingly little that was applicable to the specific names used by my BIOS, so I couldn't.
Voltages will never be totally exact. It's normal. It just needs to be within a safe range, whatever that might be.
What it's running at is still a safe voltage (although I'd like it a little lower for thermal reasons unless someone can convince me I'll never generate as much heat as IBT in real life) but I can specify increments of 0.001, and it's choosing to go 24x its minimum when it wants. That happens to be a quarter of the way from probably-last-forever voltages to suicide-overclock voltages. It looks way more than acceptable margin for error to me.

As long as your system is stable and the voltage is within a safe range, you're OK!
So I've had this Note 3 for a while that a friend tried replacing the digitizer on. I never cared to try and fix it but now that I'm looking into it I don't know what this means.
When I boot up the phone after a few seconds red green and blue pixels will start showing and as it stays on more and more show until it's to the point it starts looking white.
