Would more core voltage on the maxwell/pascal series have allowed higher core clocks?

[80251]

If the VRM circuitry and cooling had been up to it (big assumption I know) would more core voltage (say 1.4V or so) have allowed higher core clocks on maxwell and pascal series cards?

The absolute highest core clock I've seen on Hwbot.org for a 1080ti was 2202 Mhz. and 980ti at 1688Mhz (both under H2O and the 1080ti was using chilled H2O).

Does Nvidia mandate a maximum vcore voltage to its AIB's?

It's what they figure will allow the gpu to live 3 years at 100% ish usage from what I remember one of their engineers saying in an interview. I honestly can't remember the source or who was doing the interview it was literally just prior to the Turing ERA which was over a half decade ago I remember hearing it.
