The CPU voltage appears to have been altered.

Why would an AI overclock increase voltage to dangerous levels? Also, I'm new to this. What steps should I take to reset the BIOS settings back to their original state for stability? Refer to the exit screen of the BIOS and select "load optimized defaults."
Would you like advice on whether to proceed with a manual overclock after confirming your voltages are safe? Also, regarding the POST message issue about CPU fan speed, feel free to share more details or decide if a separate thread is needed.
I'm experiencing what looks like a wrong POST message about CPU fan speed errors. Should we talk about this here or create a new thread for it? I just built a friend's rig last week using the same CPU and motherboard. He used ASUS A.I software to overclock it to 4.7 with just one click. It's pretty impressive unless you're not comfortable tweaking the BIOS. Usually I avoid software overclocking, but the ASUS A.I suite isn't too bad. Regarding the fans, do you have a liquid cooling setup? If yes, your CPU fan header must still be connected. If it's connected and you're seeing issues, it could be a problem with the motherboard controlling it—unless you're using new parts, that's unlikely.
I need to take a short break. Thank you for your assistance, though I won't be able to respond for some time. Yes, I'm using a Corsair H110i GTX liquid cooler. The two fans are linked through connectors that branch from a main header. This header is the pump header, a three-pin connector that connects the pump (located above the CPU) to the CPU_FAN header.
I switched back to 'optimised defaults' and adjusted just the voltage and ratio:
Voltage set to Manual (1.32V)
Core ratio (all cores) changed to 44 (previously 40)
The voltage remains unstable. Apologies for the slow reply earlier.

The voltage keeps fluctuating still. Apologies for the slow reply.
Interesting. The VRM might be at risk now that the voltage isn't stable. Do you want me to check if the BIOS shows the same reading?
I'm also curious if Hwmonitor could be displaying an incorrect value.
It's feasible. Are there additional BIOS settings that might influence voltage? And in the BIOS, you noticed voltage changes during startup (I need to enter it to avoid the 'CPU fan speed error' that appears at boot).
