@nanook: What we need explicit testing for is this: does the latest version of the intel-microcode package which is present in the latest Ubuntu (Cosmic Cuttlefish *or* up-to-date Bionic Beaver/18.04.01 LTS *or* up- to-date Xenial LTS 16.04.01) disables overclocking on the i7-6850K ?
To test this, you need to install the intel-microcode package, and reboot. Then, you check if overclocking is still active *while Ubuntu is running* (overclocking will be working in UEFI/BIOS, regardless). Removing the intel-microcode package and rebooting will undo all changes, so this is a safe test. Please report the contents of /proc/cpuinfo before you installed intel- microcode, and after you installed intel-microcode *and rebooted to activate it*.
