I was wondering when you up the CPU voltage, is it INJECTING that much into the chip, or are you just making that much AVAILABLE to the chip--like multiple car batteries and a starter?
So If I up voltage to say, 2v on a 2700k, will it damage it? Or will it only damage it when I've OC'd it enough to start drawing too many volts? Thanks.

If you increase the cpu voltage enough, you will definitly damage it, perhaps permanently.
Each specific chip sample has it's own tolerance.
If you are a competitive overclocker, go ahead and see how much it can take.
If, you are a normal user, be sensible, and do your overclocking via the multiplier only, and let the motherboard auto adjust the voltage.
So then, increasing the voltage increases the amount INJECTED into the chip...it doesn't just increase what is AVAILABLE. If I'm getting you guys right?

Wow...How is this a valid question....Really....2.0 volts????? You gonna end up with a shiny new paperweight !!! Voltage is the #1 killer of components followed closely by heat
