System Voltage Control M720-US3

When system voltage control is set to auto it supplies 1.4 vcore (though it is supposed to supply 1.35) but when set to manual it supplies 1.35.

I have a GA-870A-UD3 board and it does a similar thing..I am not sure but my guess is where on the board does the Motherboard
place the voltage feedback sensor..Closer to the load is the best condition..But alas that may not be practical from a layout point..One of the reasons I chose the Gigabyte board over others was the 2 ounce copper used to minimise this effect..
On my board it did not really effect anything at all that I could determine..
If someone else has more information, please feel free to jump in..
Goodluck,

I am not too sure about the AMD platform but on the Intel side of things I have noticed that Gigabyte do tend to "auto overclock" their boards as standard. Maybe it is a marketing ploy so they seem to run just that little bit faster at stock.

Thanks for the input. What I meant was when System Voltage Control is set to AUTO you have no option to change vcore. In this situation it supplies 1.4v (health status page of bios) instead of the stated 1.35v on the Intelligent Tweaker page of bios.

But when System Voltage Control is set to manual with vcore set to AUTO it supplies 1.35v.
