is it bad to run my i7 8700k oc even at a safe temp?

[esteban_sc096]

So i'm a noob at OC recently got a gaming rig and after a bit of research found out that oc genie 4 wasn't so bad as long as my temps where ok. Also i have some liquid cooling so i tried it out...and everything seems fine my CPU temps are great and its running at 4.8 GHz which is fast enough for me so my question is should i really bother doing it manual even tho i'm happy with the temps and speed or is it bad running it auto like this.

thanks in advance

You don't have to set your OC manually, but it is often a better idea because auto settings almost always overcompensate on voltage, which means more heat. No one can tell you what to do, so if you're happy with it, I would say you have already answered your own question.
