After testing on a new system with DOCP activated, I noticed a significant voltage difference between the BIOS versions. The newer BIOS reads around 1.085V, while the older one reads 1.362V. I thought anything above 1.2V might harm the hardware, but I’m curious about running the older BIOS to compare stability. Is it safe to try that?

It might have harmed the CPU, GPU, or motherboard if it operated at 1.36V for several days.
