2700X auto voltages look.... a bit crazy

So I decided it was time to squeeze some more juice out of this thing since it's holding my 3080 back.

Guides were saying most chips could do an all core 4.2Ghz around 1.35V, and AMD recommends to not go over 1.4V for 24/7 usage.

Grand

So it turns out my chip is a dog and I can only get 4.1GHz at 1.375, but no mas. I decide that I'd rather have the higher single core boosts I was getting on auto and sack it off.

THEN, I notice that it's throwing 1.5V at my cpu according to CPU-Z when it's under load. That seems rather out of kilter with AMD's recommendations.

What's everyone else seeing with these chips on auto? Should I undervolt a bit or just leave it be?
 
Ah cheers. That was the highest I saw, but in prime it was still sustaining over 1.4V.

Sounds like I should still take those recommended limits seriously though.
