So I've been trying to understand why my CPU's base core voltage is so high.

With everything set to auto in the BIOS (updated 29/11/19) the Core Voltage is set to a whopping 1.506v. I realized this as I was trying to overclock. At 3.8ghz the system is unstable and runs pretty hot (about 10-20 degrees hotter than normal), trying to correct this issue is near impossible as my motherboard's bios doesn't have the capability to directly change the voltage to a specific value, instead they've opted for an offset mode which is driving me crazy. The system didn't post when I tried the offset mode so I'm honestly pretty scared to go forward without really knowing what I'm doing. I'd like to get the best out of my system though, if anyone understood this mess and can help I'd very much appreciate it.  Thank you
