Hello, I have just started overclocking and managed to get a stable 4.2 on air. My issue is under full load on prime95 my voltage is 1.46 and temps are fine. When I shut down prime my voltage on cpuz reads 1.5 which I believe is too high? Is high voltage only an issue under full load or am i currently frying my cpu? thanks in advance.

high voltage will be an issue whether the chip's under load or idling. if there's high enough current running through your chip, it can kill it instantaneously, while high temps may show a degradation over time. id try to keep it under 1.475v just to be safe but, there are others that do keep it around 1.5v
