Not enough voltage will make the CPU unstable as well as having too high voltage.
So it seems your N900 is a bit unlucky in terms of having an average sample of the CPU.

btw, amperage is governed by how hungry the CPU is.
Basically, cpu frequency governs the power that it needs.
Higher voltage = more power used by the CPU = heat.
