I think even without testing these it would be preferred we maintain full control for Extreme OC.

Manual OC avoided this degredation on 4 daily setups running at home. keeping a good balance between speed, voltage and temperature.

On cold I don't really care at much about voltages , though I always search for the lower stable ones.

Alby
If i'm not mistaken.

Manual OC is also affected , from voltage spikes and higher cpu voltage (that override the value you set in bios).

Define manual OC, here it is locked P and E cores, no boost clocks, speedsteps disabled,...manual vcore, SA, L2,... nearly no AUTO voltage settings at all.

Correct I don't check with a muiltimeter on my dailies  

Nevertheless these air cooled 13th and 14th I9s on ASUS and ASRock boards still hum along nicely with core speeds between 5.2-5.5GHz clockspeeds, undergoing daily torture by the kids with extensive gaming sessions.
