It is pretty high. You should not use any auto overclocking features ever and just do it manually. You will get much better results and much lower voltages.

It is pretty fun, but can also be frustrating. Just remember to watch your temps when stressing and don't push voltages too high. With Ryzen i go for 1.375 max.
People do push over 1.4v, but i'm not comfortable with that.
