It won't damage the device right away, particularly during low usage when minimal power flows through the processor.
Manufacturers typically cap performance at 1.5V and 1.7V for Skylake CPUs built on 14nm processes. Pushing beyond 1.7V requires altering the board’s pin layout, which isn’t recommended. Going above 1.7V might cause faster degradation, though it won’t immediately destroy the CPU—just a gradual decline. It appears Intel advised against exceeding 1.5V, but some boards could still be restricted to that level.
The score for your multi-core processor on CR20 is 1523, while yours was 1320. Does this mean CR20 is designed to utilize all your available GHz? Since it wasn’t exceeding more than 3 GHz beyond your maximum turbo speed of 4.90 GHz, it seems it’s optimized for your full capacity.
