Does reducing the voltage for the CPU slightly damage it in any way?
I had to knock it down from 1.375 to 1.200. I mean it worked as normal apart from the temperature being lowered significantly. And I've ran some games too which all ran fine. I fo plan on knocking it back to default once the arctic freezer cooler arrives next week.

My best guess is that it works similar to clock speeds: certain processors can operate at lower voltages, but manufacturers set the whole batch to default to a "safe", known value that works on all of them.
