Huge difference in Auto SOC Voltage between BIOS versions. Is 1.36V Safe?

[ragp13]

So after experiencing instability on a new system with DOCP enabled (

 

After that, I checked the SOC Voltage in both the Bios and HWINFO64 and the voltage difference when DOCP is enabled for both versions is HUGE!

 

With the newest Bios it's ~1.085V, with the older Bios it's 1.362V!

 

My understandig was that anything above 1.2V is considered detrimental for your hardware?

 

I want to run the older BIOS (with high SOC V) to see if it's more stable than the newer one, but am wondering if it's OK to do so?

1.36v is not safe

Right, that's what I expected. So why on earth would the BIOS default to this?

BIOS' can do dumb shit sometimes.

Could it have damaged the CPU/GPU or the motherboard itself if it ran at 1.36V for multiple days?

I wouldn't be too worried
