just an update-
i reapplied thermal paste more conservatively and my temps are much cooler because of it. I was at about 36-38C idle before, now i'm at about 30-31C! didn't realize paste application could make such a difference.
however, we'll have to see if my problem persists. The CPU is roughly 2 years old now, and i've been running it at 4.5ghz since I built the pc. is it possible that the overclock has just become unstable @ 1.33V? either way, i'm dialed down to stock clocks for now.
my voltages are currently set to auto, although i've updated my RAM settings so now i'm running @ 1600mhz 1.5V
