Your CPU runs at 3.8 GHz with a voltage of 1.25 V in override mode, while HWInfo shows VID at 1.25 V but Core Voltage at 1.4 V. The difference lies in how the voltage is applied—override mode may adjust it slightly differently than the balanced plan. In idle, 1.4 V is typical for Ryzen, so it’s within normal range.
VRMs don't convert power perfectly. Budget motherboards often perform worse since they include fewer (and usually inferior) VRMs.
