While testing Prime95, I notice high voltage readings but the temperature stays below 67°C. That voltage level seems acceptable for Prime95, which usually puts a lot of stress on the CPU. It’s possible the cooler is functioning well, allowing Prime95 to run without thermal throttling.
These levels are completely normal for Ryzen. If you're not facing thermal or power restrictions, the CPU can operate up to 1.5V during short periods. Voltages between 1.4 and 1.45V are standard when the processor is ramping up. For demanding tasks without thermal limits, you might notice voltages near 1.35V, though this varies based on the instructions in use and core frequencies.
