Will a motherboard protect me from putting to much voltage in the cpu.

[Smackaroy]

I have been a pc performance nerd for about 4 years now. I have done overclocking but every time a tune the voltage I worry one day im going to put a digit in the wrong place and fry my cpu. So I was wondering if motherboards protect you from making that mistake?

Yes, motherboards can’t put a certain max voltage as different CPUs use different stock voltages.

BIOSes nowadays have become more advance and they should warn you if you set your CPU voltage to some unsafe value. Some will change the text to red if it's a voltage they deem to be dangerous.
