Not to worry.
In daily usage as compared to benchmarking, your cpu will never run full out on all cores for extended times.
Gaming, for instance will rarely use more than 2-3 cores.

Only if you were folding or such would you give any thought to a problem.

Each cpu will have suggested maximums for voltage. Intel haswell for example, will be about 1.30v for vcore.
