Went into Dell BIOS and disabled almost all Intel stuff, the last one though is likely some Dell thingy:

Enable C-State Control -> Disabled
Description: "This feature enables the CPU's ability to enter and exit low power sates."

Intel Turbo Boost Technology -> Disabled

Intel Turbo Boost Maximum Technology 3.0 -> Disabled
Description: "...it will disable Nvidia Dynamic Boost 2.0"

Intel Hyper-Threading Technology (remained Enabled)

Adaptive Optimization -> Disabled
Description: "This option enables or disables Prestos 3 Performance Feature"

After this I could only see P-Cores in HWMonitor, and the clocks appear to remain very stable comparing to earlier tests. So far 4/5 jobs finished successfully! So still one crash, but much better ratio than earlier. Keeping my fingers crossed with the longer clips but looks promising...

If E-Cores are indeed the culprit then I guess it might be safe to re-enable TurboBoost to get the clocks back up from 2,5GHz to the ~5GHz level again. The temps appear to remain at almost idle levels now.

Thanks for the help getting into the (likely) root of this!

Will test the lighter filtering setup too with the next batch.
