i have a question regarding the SOC Voltage on a X870 Tomahawk.
i have a 7800X3D CPU and 2x16 6000Mhz CL30 RAM, whenever i use EXPO from BIOS the SOC Voltage jumps to 1.316V (automatically). can i manually lower the SOC voltage? is it safe to constantly put the 7800X3D under 1.316V?

Yes, you can lower the voltage, the BIOS is sometimes a bit overzealous in how much it automatically raises certain voltages for the XMP/EXPO profile in question. Especially when the kit has a more aggressive profile, the Auto voltages are sometimes rather high, it's the same on Intel. Often times you can reduce one or several of them while still remaining fully stable. You have to do some RAM stability tests though, for example with TestMem5 from my RAM thread under point 5).
