    I don't get these voltage regulations

    Hey guys,

    I don't get how these voltage regulations work.
    Is there a bug maybe or is it just beyond my understanding?

    As you can see, I run override mode with 1.13V and and offset of -0.75mV.
    For monitoring I used HWinfo and in non of the scenarios I see any voltages that fit my settings.
    The BIOS settings are identical by the way.

    It's a dsanke bios modded P870KM1-G with 8700k by the way.

    Thanks for your help!

    VID is not VCORE

    Okay, I think I got the differences, but what value am I setting in bios (=control center) then? Vcore?

    The override voltage is affected by AI AC/DC Loadline value. You can read a bit more about the AC/DC loadline here.
    However, I would not recommend messing with it and simply use 'adaptive voltage' with a higher undervolt.
