Yup, your google must be broken, either that you you just simply couldnt be bothered to look, came straight up for me:

Nope me neither, ive always got HWInfo open in the background at the moment, ive not seen SOC move off what ive manually set it to no matter what im doing, im not using EXPo though, ive manually set everything to do with RAM (Speed, Timings and Voltages)
running 5600 cl36
I dont normally mess with that menu myself, but Buildzoid did a recent video where he was testing the SOC voltage in different menus with a multimeter attached, granted it was on a Gigabyte board, but as it was with the new AGESA, im going to guess its the same with all of them at the moment, and the only way he could get it to stick was setting it in both menu's, others like me think one setting should override the other, but for some reason, thats not working properly either.

Are you using memory content restore - enabled in your bios ? if you are you also have to set power down enabled to enabled, if I disable both, I get a mega slow post, if I enable MCR but disable Power down then I get BSOD's, crashes etc.
Nah, they'll fix it, halfway through that video GN say it still points toward too much vsoc even the people they used to do the testing said the same.
Ummm no, Buildzoid did a video with a Gigabyte motherboard not sticking to set voltages, and GN's first video which also contained a Gigabyte motherboard show'd the board (no matter what you set the voltage too) spiking 1.45v SOC into the CPU at random, its at 1min 8 seconds of the video, happens right there in the beginning on the GN video, so you dont even have to watch the whole thing, so its far from ASUS alone, no vid's have shown how ASRock and MSI boards behave yet, but one of those destroyed chips came from an ASRock board.
Lol, that was a gigabyte motherboard in the picture I posted, which was a screenshot from the first GN video, so again, it's really not just AsusYeah that's too high ^^^^ but its not 1.45v.
The X3D are more sensitive to over-voltage as the added L3 cache is stacked on top of the CPU die, power and signalling is through microscopic ball sockets that tunnel through the substrate of both the cache and CPU.
That's the difference between the X3D and none X3D chips, the only reason we know about this is because it was blowing those X3D chips, that doesn't mean the none X3D chips aren't being killed more slowly
There is another reason this was so dramatic, the motherboards over current protection failed to detect the problem and trip, so it kept feeding it power after the CPU had shorted, we all know what happens when a circuit in your house that shorts fails to trip the fuse, it heats up and melts, in your fuse box look for the main flick switch, there is a red or yellow button under it, that is the short circuit protection test button, press it.
Its a combination of the motherboard malfunctioning and having the SoC voltage set WAY too high.
Ive been using an ASUS X670e Gene for months, and I love it, never had a problem with it, its the only X670E board that I liked that came fully loaded with PCI-e 5 and USB 4.
In the UK they dont handle the RMA's themselves, I contacted them about another issue I had with my previous board that had, after filling out the form stating it had a beta bios on it, I spoke with the UK RMA centre who stated they dont handle components, only things like Laptops and monitors, and told me to send it back to where I purchased it from for a replacement, so I did, and got it replaced, never had a problem with them, it then goes back to the supplier / distributer who then return it to ASUS.
never heard of them, ASUS used to have offices in Milton Keynes, literally just around the corner from the Gigabyte RMA place too, (ive dropped faulty products into both of them in the past), they also have a place in Hemel Hempstead who dont deal with components, they shut the place in Milton Keynes down (who did deal with components) so now you have to send it back if its faulty to where you brought it from, whether that be Overclockers or some other retailer.
My PC boots to the windows lockscreen in 6 seconds, takes 3 seconds for me to type in my password, then startup programs take about 20 seconds, thats using a WD 850X nvme drive, with an ASUS x670e gene, 7900 non x and 32gb of RAM sort of expo enabled, but timings, speed, voltage etc entered manually, ive tried removing the 10 second windows explorer delay, but it doesnt seem to work on windows 11
TBH, I remember being able to go make a whole roast dinner whilst waiting for a game to load on my first ever PC lol......Sinclair ZX Spektrum.......only to come back and find a syntax error at the end.......arrrrgggghhhh, but hey, the colours were nice to watch and hypnotisingAs fast as the hardware gets we never seem to make much ground on start-up. To be fair though I remember being able to go and make a cup of tea while waiting for the PC to bootI think we'll need some sort of persistent memory before we see it get much faster.

You cant beat a bit of Horace goes skiing lol, they dont makes games like that anymore......(mumbles under my breath) "Thank god for that"Lol, I still get PTSD if I hear that Spectrum loading sound. Waiting forever for it to load up only for it to errorUsed to infuriate me playing with volume settings
