i7 5820k OC 4.0GHZ Automatic Overclocking

[paourissi]

My pc:

i7-5820k
x99s msi plus
16g ram 2400mhz crucial ballistix sport
psu 1000w corsair
ssd 840 evo
gtx 1080 ti

My cpu's stock speed is 3.30ghz with Voltage 1.080v in auto mode.

I have noticed that if i overclock at 4.0 without changing the Voltage manually the voltage automatically is 1.245v. Does this mean that if i want to change manually the voltage that the minimum volts i can put is 1.245??

It must be because any lower will cause instability.

That doesn't mean necessarily that 1.245V is the minimum possible stable voltage for 4.0 GHz. It's just your mobo's best guess. In fact, it's not even guaranteed to be stable unless you've run stability tests to verify yourself.
