Ryzen uses high voltages to boost performance and efficiency in its processors.
Normally, when the system runs lightly, the voltage on the Ryzen 3000 rises to about 1.45 volts to reach full turbo. But during heavy use it drops to around 1.32 volts. Power usage and heat are what damage CPUs, not just the voltage level.
