Could you clarify what you mean by your VID and Vcore?

Hello, I have a question about overclocking a Ryzen 5 3600 on an MSI B450 Tomahawk Max motherboard:
Typically, when not overclocked, the VID and Vcore in HWINFO64 are synchronized, correct?
When I set an overclock of 42.00 and apply a manual override voltage of 1.3250v, save and reboot, then opening HwInfo64 I notice something unusual: the VIDs remain locked at 1.1000 volts while the Vcore is at 1.325v.
I don’t see any performance problems, but why are the VIDs fixed at 1.1v here? Did you try this on other MSI motherboards? Should I adjust anything? Please help me out—I’ve been asking for days and no one has responded. Thank you.

The VID is the standard voltage supplied to the CPU cores in BIOS. CPU core voltage represents the final value after applying different power management techniques to the VID. This information was found through a Google search.

It's quite straightforward
If you leave it on auto, the CPU or BIOS firmware will determine the optimal settings for your CPU, such as voltages and clocks
If you touch it, you'll decide what's best for your CPU and the CPU/MBO will follow your choice

I understand you're asking about the voltage levels during manual overclocking. The VID dropping to 1.100 indicates a significant change in voltage regulation, which can happen due to various factors affecting the system's stability.
