It seems to me that all the auto settings on the Aorus AX370 Gaming K7 (rev 1.0) have dodgy automatic settings. Sure, they're okay to keep things running, but for longevity, I seriously question it.
Example. The F10 BIOS and software all reported my SOC at over 1.2v (not by much but still) and matched. Set it to auto at 1V and it's fine. Why so high?
My RAM, with XMP as a profile, 1.35V set in automatic, 1.38V delivered. Why? I know software isn't as accurate and neither is the BIOS but they usually under-report or are closer to the value than being way ahead of a value (for safety reasons I guess). So the question is, why are the K7 boards pushing so much voltage under automatic settings?
I've been manually shaving off voltages here and there... only on VCore, SOC, DRAM. It looks like I'll have to keep an eye out for this with future Gigabyte boards. Not particularly happy about it as this can potentially shorten the lifespan, even if used for a short time.
