No, it shouldn't - but you haven't confirmed the performance decline. How are you confirming this is occurring? Are you keeping track of temperatures? It's entirely possible you still have adaptive voltage active, and while you believe you're using the same voltage, you might not... OR, your system may not be stable. Have you been putting stress on this setup? 4.5GHz isn't usually achievable on most A8=5600K devices, especially at night without some significant voltage drop (~1.5V). Most cases cap around 4.3 or 4.4GHz.

Have you been putting stress on this system? 4.5GHz isn't usually achievable on most A8=5600K devices, especially at night without some significant voltage drop (~1.5V). 4.3 or 4.4GHz appears to be the practical upper limit in most cases.
I use overdrive to track temperatures, but it only reaches 30c in thermal margin.
For benchmarking, I run Cinebench R20 (3.6-3.9 ghz scores 604 on multi; 4.5 ghz is 728). I repeated the tests to verify OC stability. The current score is (3.6-3.9 ghz is 560) and (4.5 is 648).
I think the silicone material helped me hit 4.5 ghz, so I turned off core loadline control to keep voltage stable.
I also played Tom Clancy Wildlands for a month using an RX 570, without any sudden crashes or shutdowns.
