    I'm not too surprised... 1.85 volts is +.25 from stock which is pretty significant, especially on air. Makes it even worse if you were into any type of DC projects that would keep it at 100% load all the time. Unless you plan on upgrading soon, i'd suggest taking it back down to stock speeds/volts. Or at the very least stock voltage and see how far it will OC and leave it at that.

    Are the Mult's available to you? It still very well might be the CPU if you got a bad one (as I've generally they start to degredate around 2.1, if not outright keel over in time. I'm asking because it could be the nb. What board are you running?
