Hi, I built a new gaming PC two months ago that uses this CPU, I've just recently been told by a friend online that my voltage should not be 1.47v stock, I have left it on auto in bios but this high voltage is beginning to worry me as I cannot run prime or anything that loads the CPU past 50% without easily going past 70c.
Idle temps: 27c
Load@50%: 55c
Load@100%: Unknown but I have seen 74c before shutting my computer down.
I am still using the stock heatsink but I have reapplied MX-2 heatsink compound twice to no improvement in addition to using 9 80cfm case fans with good cable management. I have not suffered a BSOD at any point, my system specs are as follows:
Cpu: AMD FX-8350 (stock HS)
Gpu: Zotac GTX 580 1.5gb
Mobo: Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3
Ram: 32Gb Patriot Viper 3
Psu: Aerocool GT-1050SG (OEM is HEC)
Storage: Salvaged 1tb HD/128Gb Samsung 840 pro SSD
Sound card: Asus Xonar Essence STX
Case and fans: Aerocool BX-500/Arctic Cooling F12's
OS: Windows 7 Pro
Completely stock, not planning on overclocking anytime soon as I can run every game I have at max graphics with at least 30fps ... Do I have a awful binned CPU or do I need to offset my voltage? It currently is stable.
Also sorry about this wall of text, I just felt like I needed to include all possible information to assist your suggestions! Thanks.

On another note ... Why has my mobo decided 1.47v? 
Seems strange that it is so far off stock voltage.
