AMD 5950x with x570 SoC Voltage Question

Running a AMD 5950x with a ASUS Crosshair Impact VIII x570 board and it literally won't boot with the latest bios (3102 beta) if I enable DOCP (completely stable with everything on Auto). Anyway I did a bit of research and read that increasing the SoC voltage can stabilise RAM so I ran the Ryzen DRAM calculator (yes I know it hasn't been updated for Zen 3 yet) and it recommend a SoC voltage of 1.025V. BIOS Auto was setting it to around 0.978V so I tried 1.025V and boom it posts fine.

Now I'm a little worried as I've never really messed with these voltages before so want to ask if 1.025V is a safe voltage for a X570 with 5950x. I did read some going as high as 1.2V so I'm guessing its fine but wanted to check. HWInfo shows the actual voltage as 1.019V for SoC and 1.487V for CPU.

Fingers crossed system is stable and no more WHEA errors.

Safe
My MB automatically jumps SOC voltage from 1.0 to 1.18V once memory is past 3400MHz. Way too high, can actually run even 3800 at 1.05V. But shows manufacturer safe operating range
