Different voltages are just down to different architectures, There are plenty of 1.4v + 7700K's knocking about, thats very common and i'm pretty sure you would agree thats not a problem, to get SkyLake-X to 4.7 volts in the region of 1.3 are also necessary for SkyLake-X, you can't have it "bad on the AMD chip" but not on Intel?
Ryzen even when overclocked uses around 100 Watts while Skylake-X over 300 watts, Power = heat and 300+ Watts of it through the socket pins is a huge amount, yes they can burn.
Thats what can happen to your SkyLake-X when you overclock it ^^^^^^ thats not voltage, thats massive power consumption, the sort of power consumption that makes AMD's 6 year old Bulldozer look incredibly power efficient.
Need to find the chart where all the CPUs were tested on power consumption (is on the Zen thread) on gaming and multithread applications.
It's showing the 7700K @ 4.7Ghz burning way more power than the 1800X @ 4ghz even on gaming. Which someone could say "duh faster CPU", but burns more power at multithread applications for less the performance!!!!!! (something like 80W)
6700K @ 4.5Ghz was burning more than the 7700K and 4790K @4.5Ghz was burning 60% more than the 1800X @4Ghz and all the others combined.
The benchmark included even X99 CPUs.

@Gibbo and
@8 Pack Could you try some of the Dual rank and quad rank quad channel kits (Gskil 3866 one is 4-rank) with the X399 motherboards please? Everyone would love to see your findings. And unfortunately given the price of the things these days, we cannot buy, experiment and sell on ebay. Nobody going to run benchmarks with £500 worth of ram. If it was last year prices, I could have done it for the sake of experimenting and research.

Btw this was posted on the Vega thread. Look at the CPU per core overhead on the NVidia cards compared to the Vega card. On many scenes the NV is hitting 90% on 1 core, while the Vega barely hits 50% on the same scene.
Then some continue to call me crazy, when I write what others say also. That NV drivers optimisation are responsible for the bad Ryzen and SkylakeX performance, which is the common denominator on all benchmarks the last 5 months. Not the CPUs or their architecture.
