My configuration includes the following components:
-ASUS ROG Strix Z390-e
-I7 8700k
-32gb TridentZ RGB 3200mhz RAM (8gb x4)
-Coolermaster ma620p dual tower dual fan air cooler
-850watt 80+gold Thermaltake PSU
-ASUS GTX 1060 6gb
-phanteks Enthoo pro case
-2x 250gb Samsung 970 evo M.2 SSD in RAID 0 for boot drive
-1x 500gb 850ev0 SSD
-1x 6tb Toshiba HDD

What I did was:
-enable XMP_II
-sync all cores
-And set the multiplier to 47
-Leave all other settings on auto

I’m curious why my VCCIO is so high. Could it be related to the four RAM sticks? Also, are any of my other voltage settings excessive or unsafe?
I’m new to technical tweaks and not sure what each setting actually does. This is my first overclocking attempt and my first system build in ten years. I aimed for a stable baseline and chose 4.7ghz, leaving everything else untouched.
Any guidance on what these voltage adjustments mean would be really helpful.

VCCIO and System agent voltage may be adjusted to approximately 1.1-1.2v in the BIOS for optimal CPU and memory performance during overclocking.

It could be set high automatically due to the 4 dimensions of RGB RAM. Others with similar z390 motherboards also experience this issue. Is it safe to keep the voltage at that level automatically? The guides suggest not changing VCCIO or system agent voltages, so understanding what VCCIO controls is important. If you adjust it too low, what effects would that have? And if you leave it as it is, will everything function properly?

Verify whether a more recent motherboard BIOS exists compared to your current setup. If available, proceed with the update.
