Hello, I have a ryzen 5600x, I've heared my cpu fans blowing max speed so I had to check some stuff and then found that my CPU Core voltage is higher than normal I guess! it is reading 2.8V on CPUz, Everything else is fine I guess!
I tried installing new OS, Resetting BIOS but nothing happened
I've checked with 2 of my friends who have the same cpu but that Core Voltage is reading normal for them, max 1.4V and it doesn't exceed it.
MB Asrock B550 Pro4

PS: I wasn't overclocking my CPU, Never OCed, also wasn't attempting to do OC.

BIOS version for your motherboard? Might want to see if clearing the CMOS helps. Disconnect from the wall and display, remove the battery and then press and hold down the power button for 30secs. Replace the battery after 30 mins.

If you have BIOS updates pending, I'd see if you're able to update it to the latest.

Might want to see if removing A-Tuner helps. When I worked with ASRock's A-Tuner, there was a bug that caused my fans to run at full speed when it was open, but that was a long while ago.

I'll do all that, But I wanna know something, is that value harmful?
all my cpu temps are normal with it like that but I'm really clueless about the CPU stuff.
Also, it's called "Core Voltage" is it different than CPU Voltage or they're the same?
 
Staying below 1.4v is what you should be aiming for. I'd try and hover around 1.3v to avoid chip degradation.
so for now i've updated the bios to latest version,
+ I haven't changed that value from myself, it changed like that out of no where
+ there are these readings from my bios idk if it's related to my problem or not
but anyways, right now i've downloaded ryzen master and tried to do some basic OCs like PBO or Auto overclock but non of both changed the CoreVoltage value in CPUZ.
I have HwInfo64 but I don't know where can I find that value or what's it named there so I'll just leave screenshots hopefully you can help me.

I've found out on the 1000th search today in old thread on Tom's Hardware that CPUZ is giving fake Core voltage value, and it's called CPU Core Voltage (SVI2 TFN) on HWINFO64, therefore I think my voltages are pretty normal, right? max value is 1.413 while stressing.

That's the link of the older thread that I found :https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/core-voltage-in-cpu-z-is-much-higher-than-in-bios.3496197/

Did you try with Curve Optimizer in BIOS ? -20 or -30 should lower max voltage down to 1.3v or less without performance loss, possibly even gain some if all is left on auto.
