You're seeing mixed results with your BIOS settings and HWINFO data. The Vcore value in BIOS might not always match what HWINFO reports, especially if the system is under load or thermal conditions change. Setting Vcore to 1.3V can help reduce heat but may impact stability. If you switch to "Auto," it suggests the CPU dynamically adjusts, which could mean it's trying to balance performance and power. Using Intel Extreme Tuning Utility with an offset might give more control without constant 1.3V, but it depends on your specific workload. The constant 1.3V setting isn't necessarily bad—it just means you're keeping the voltage steady, which can be useful for thermal management. Your Gigabyte Z790 AORUS ELITE AX board supports these adjustments, so it's worth experimenting with tuning tools to find the sweet spot.
