I'm trying to burn-in my celemine so I uped my volts as high as I can got which is supposed to be 1.825v. The voltages in mbm have shown 1.85-1.88v. Can this be correct? If so, that's better for me.

 

eh?

they are only as accurate as your thermal diode...

They are fairly accurate, close enough to trust.
Much better than the Diode for temp reading.

I have done some testing with software readings vs Multimeter readings so....
The readings MBM shows you are most likly correct

I have a question to add about the cpu diode. Does intel have one built-in their cpu, or is the reading most likely from the onboard diode I have in my socket?

there is a tiny tiny thermistor built directly into the Intel CPU core.

It's in the top left edge of the core, if memory serves.
