Yet another voltage query
I have a 9800x3d on a x870e taichi lite (3.16) and am running the asrock performance preset pbo+tjmax 85. EXPO is also enabled (the kit is corsair vengeance 96 gb 6000mhz/cl30). Temperatures and stability seem reasonable (the cpu idles around ~40C in a fractal torrent with a phantom spirit 120SE).
I regularly keep hwinfo64 up to see what happens with voltages when doing cpu heavy workloads. According to that, core VIDs do not exceed 1.215 V, but the SVI3 TFN sensors report higher max values of around 1.246 V (see https://i.imgur.com/Y17zufp.png ) and the mobo sensors report much higher transient voltages over 1.3 V (see https://i.imgur.com/XTTWURD.png ). My understanding is that the SVI3 TFN sensors are on or in part of the cpu itself and thus are more reliable, but it's still somewhat concerning (?) to see spikes in Vcore over 1.3 V, when this is close to if not at the max voltage for the cpu. Is this worth paying attention to or the wrong interpretation of these voltage readings?
