Thanks for the response mate. Since I am not looking to overclock this chip at all. I think this motherboard should hold up for few years that I am planning to do. I'll do check your guide before making the purchase so that I can get the best. Currently, I'll be focusing on upgrading my GPU to a 1070 or better. Thanks Guys for assistance. I'll mark this as resolved.

Hey, I did some stress testing and found out that under load it stays at 1.11x v and does't go upto 1.3 or 1.404 v which it is only doing occasionally under non full load conditions. I was shit scared when I saw that voltage cpu is pulling but for short burst i don't think it will decrease the life cycle of my cpu. Thanks for helping and prompt response. LTT forums is amazing. For question regarding OBS I'll be creating a new thread for the same. Thanks Again.

Completely understand your point. Well the reason I went with this motherboard is I heard that this is the best budget motherboard out there (which I was wrong maybe) and the market from which I purchased ASUS doesn't have a good reputation of after sales service. Gigabyte has a very strong stand here. I don't intended to overclock this cpu, I paid 169 dollars (11,000 INR) for this. I will be testing this using HWMonitor today, running a cinebench or AIDA64 stress test for 30 mins and share the result with you guys so that you can suggest if I should do some changes in the bios setting or contact Gigabyte for a replacement. The reason I went for this setup is I am planning to do game live stream to youtube or twitch using this system. I am also facing some issues with using software encoder in OBS which is causing laggy gameplay. Should I start a new thread for this?

Hi LTT Group, My system specs are : CPU : Ryzen 7 1700 stock no overclock RAM : 8GB 2400 Mhz Kingston HyperX (no profile selected) Cooler : Stock CPU Wraith Cooler Motherboard : Gigabyte GA-AB350-Gaming 3 The issue is CPU-z is showing me load sometimes my cpu is using excess of 1.400 v on vcore whereas i have no overclock what so ever on my system. It keeps jumping around 1.1 - 1.4 automatically. I know 1.4v is way too much and it should not go there. But I am running everything on stock and there is no overclock configured on my motherboard settings. Then why it is doing that? My Temp are normal though. Please help me how can I keep it lower? I dont want to kill my chip because of this. Please help
