High core voltage

[Seizan]

Yo!

 

My core voltage seems way to high. Idk how to check if my cpu actualy runs at that voltage, but i have a feeling it does cause of high temp spikes...

Just updated bios to see if that helped, but it's still the same; 2.041V. In Der8auers vid(7min into the video) it looks more correct; 1.449V

 

MB: Crosshair VIII dark hero

CPU: 5950X

pic my bios and a pic of a few sec stress test:

Have you tried setting the CPU voltage manually?
Even 1.449V is way too high for everyday use, you can run it at or even below 1.30v's with ease if not trying to OC it.

To set voltage manually, just select "Manual" as the option to use with "CPU Core Voltage" and enter the voltage value you want for the CPU. If you don't understand how the offset voltage option works, don't use that option, just go with straight voltage where you want it to be and try it. It's possible you can mess things up using offset if you don't know how it works so if you don't, I woudn't use it to be safe rather than sorry. 
Again, any Ryzen should be able to run with 1.30v's at stock no problem, in fact you can probrably use less and it still work fine (And run cooler too).

Ye totaly agree with all this, but even if i set a voltage manualy it still says 2.041V. So i started to doubt my self if i was doing the correct thing or not, or maybe this MB and bios worked different from my earlier ones (still Asus earlier too tho)...

Looks like you have a bad voltage sensor on the board or in the chip itself, if you have another chip try it and see if the whacky readings go away.
