Could it be accurate to say that running Intel speedstep under oc conditions might lead to overvoltage issues?

Someone I know mentioned that turning on intel speedstep while overclocking the CPU might lead to overvolting. Is that accurate?
Speedstep could resolve a performance problem, but it would be bad if true.
"One of my friends just told me..."
If you have any sources or details, please share them.
It might be useful to request some proof. Usually speedstep reduces voltages instead of increasing them.

That matches my understanding—it felt unusual since it’s meant to decrease values like you mentioned.

Deniedstingray shared with me that someone mentioned having intel speedstep turned on while overclocking the CPU might lead to overvolting. Is that accurate?
Speedstep apparently resolved a performance problem, which would be bad if this is correct.
In similar situations, I usually ask for references or details from people who know.
That’s generally what I do, but this person showed me how to overclock, so I wasn’t sure.
Thanks for your response—I really value it.

Speedstep actually resolved a performance problem, which would be bad if it were wrong.
Actually, you should seek better advice.
Intel Speed Step adjusts the clock multiplier and voltage for each core individually. Previously, changing both at once caused delays, but newer designs (like Haswell) separate these changes, minimizing those pauses.
