Hello.
I recently chose to increase the clock speed of my Ryzen 5 2600.
Testing at 4.0 GHz with a voltage of 1,3125v worked well, but when the CPU is under stress the voltage jumps even higher, up to 1,36v or more.
This is frustrating because setting the BIOS to 1.40v to hit 4.1GHz causes it to jump to 1.45v or 1.46v, which are unsafe.
I changed the LLC option but it didn’t help.
My details are: CPU model Ryzen 5 2600, motherboard ASUS B450-F gaming, power supply Corsair VS650, BIOS version 2301.
Bios settings: BCLK 100 MHz, CPU core ratio 40.00, core voltage 1,3125v (manual), other voltages auto.
Appreciate any advice, and please forgive any mistakes—I’m new to this and English isn’t my first language.

Just focus on the one in HWinfo.

Don't depend on CPU-Z for Ryzen vcore. I've encountered the same issue, and CPU-Z seems to display the motherboard sensor instead of the real CPU sensor. Try installing HWINFO64 and check for the correct sensor.

Yeah, I heard about it too and realized that cpu-z displays voltage close to the value "VDDCR CPU" in hwinfo. That means I should focus on watching the core voltage in hwinfo instead of getting confused.
