Voltage Offset Question

I have my voltage offset in my Gigabyte motherboard set to +0.120 V just testing a 3.85 GHz overclock, but I saw this in HWinfo during a full blend torture test in Prime95:

So what's the deal? I thought Ryzen 5 1600 base voltages were 1.25 V, 1.20 minimum. 1.25 + 0.12 is not 1.238. I'm sure HWinfo isn't wrong, so why isn't the voltage offset doing what I tell it to? Am I just misunderstanding the core voltage? Maybe I'm misunderstanding principles of electricity. Maybe it has something to do with the blend test, but I'd doubt it.

 

I've asked about voltages before, I'm mostly just having trouble getting a good reading during benchmarks and stress tests about the actual voltage.
