Can raising voltage lower temps?

[profreshinal]

Seems like at times when I raise the voltage a bit my core temperatures go down by a few C's, is this possible?

I don't think so, raising voltage might increase temp.. that's y pc crashes while overclocking till it gets to a suitable spot.

No, it must be some other reason.

If the raising of the voltage was done manually and taken off of auto, then in some cases the answer is yes.

Sometimes auto voltage goes much higher under load overcompensating to keep the system stable, than a manually set voltage does.

So even though you've manually increased the voltage, it is below the auto voltage spike, and running cooler.

The problem is, you may have cooler temps but are you actually stable under load?
