    My PC keeps crashing with this, usually overnight:

    WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR. It passed hours of stress testing when i set up an undervolt, sooo i assumed it was stable. Now Im not so suree. Event Viewer has WHEA-Logger entries too. Is teh CPU damaged? i dont have any other tweaks besides that one, and the rest of teh system is at default. The idea of my CPU being damaged makes me a bit sick, so Id love to rule that out.

    lol same thing happened to me test single-core and light loads specifically: tools like CoreCycler cycle a load through each core individually, which is far better at finding unstable per-core offsets than all-core stress tests. good luck man!

    been there man WHEA errors are reported by teh hardware itself. With an undervolt or negative offset, light loads and idle are exactly where instability shows up, because volatge drops when teh chip boosts single cores. Stress tests at full load dont catch it.
