The max temp on that chip is around 70C. You have nothing to worry about loading in the 40's at all. That's really, really good. The vcore jumping like that could be because it's moving by like .001v, but CPU-z keeps rounding it up and down to the closest value.
Safe temps for E8500
I posted this under the watercooling section since this girl is wet all over.

I'm running it 24/7 @ 4ghz vcore @ 1.275 on load, max temp 40 degrees C. I'm trying to go for 4.25 had to bump vcore to 1.3125, running Prime 95 now. Max temp is 43 degrees with an ambient of 21 degrees. My ambient can go to 25, so this will get my max temp to the upper 40's.
I don't really want to go above 45 degrees, so what is the max safe temp of the e8500?
I will be getting my Heatkiller 3.0 LC during this week (hopefully) then temps will look a bit better.
EDIT: another thing, i did the vcore pencil mod on my P5E, but the vcore according to CPU-Z shows it's jumping between 1.296 & 1.288, it never did that, when i loaded the cpu it stayed @ a constant voltage. Should i be concerned?
