MSI B550 Tomahawk pulling insane voltage?

So, I put together a new PC and noticed my CPU temps were much higher than a friend who also got a 5800x. Compared benchmarks, temps, speeds and his were consistently better. Noticed in Ryzen Master, core temps, HWInfo that I was pulling some serious voltage for things that didn't seem like they needed it. Rocket League was pulling 1.47-1.48ish volts which sounded insane to me. Found AMD Overclocking in the bios and set max voltage for 1.4, 1.375, 1.325, etc. to test. It limited the voltage and it's fine I'm not going for a serious OC or anything, but it's weird that it always wants so much voltage. Stock running a single pass of Cinebench will get to 88ishC. Reseated cooler to make sure before I noticed voltage. Any thoughts?

Oh yeah man. I just moved into a Ryzen system and I noticed right away that my 3600XT is getting 1.5v bumps routinely lol. I saw 1.525v logged once, and that was supposed to be completely stock. I am still using a Spire lol. The mount for my cooler was supposed to be here two weeks ago.

it's a known issue that some motherboard will push higher than normal voltage in the chip ...  I've seen that was discussed in some video by jay and steve if I remember correctly ...  really not sur if it's them tho.  The one thing you could explore is undervolting a bit to see if it lowers the temps.  I don't have experience with ryzen so I'm not the best here to help you about that ... but that's something you might want to look into.

Seems like that’s the only way. Limited to 1.35 and it’ll stay under 80C now on a pass of Cinebench. Crazy!
