Workarounds for High Voltage Spikes even with ClockTuner enabled on boot?

I bought a tray type Ryzen 5 3600. I spent a day figuring profiles for CTR and saved it and reboot to see if it works. Everytime the OS is loaded I check with HWinfo64 that the max voltage spikes around 1.413V - 1.419V and even as high as 1.43V.

I believe this is the Stock Ryzen behavior as it does this once the programs load and even when I launch Task Manager.

And CTR does not kick in to effect until it loads, if I reset the HWinfo as CTR loads I will not see the spike anymore.

Is there a chance this early spike will cause trouble in the long run? Also with the new voltage peak of 1.35V all core, some say its within safe parameters while others say 1.325V is the safe limit for Ryzen 3000. Is it also unsafe?

Spikes 1.4-1.5V are normal for Ryzen. The voltage just shouldn't stay there long term. In other words, you should not literally set the constant voltage over 1.4V in the BIOS. Otherwise, you're fine.

How about continuous burst of 1.35V at the clocks speeds of 4375, 4450 and 4500 MHz? Because those are the max they can give, the previous 2 are from the P2 profile while the 4500 is from PX high profile?

1.35V is totally normal. It would be fine to use that as a constant voltage.

Thanks, there is little to no info whether to use the PX profile because 1 part of the results say PX is only for Zen 3. Got no results if they got it running on Zen 2, and if I deactivate PX then P2 will not even trigger for medium workloads then it will switch to stock 1.4V idle. Debating on myself whether to use PX profile or not.
