Hi. I want to build my second PC. My first one is still rock solid - i5 and Z170-a Asus motherboard. I want to step up to a Core i7-10700K and want a Z490 Asus motherboard, something like the ASUS ROG Strix Z490-E . I'm not into overclocking but want a processor and board that can be overclocked so I can play around with it in the winter when I have time. But since I don't usually have time for that, I want to the processor/board to do its auto overclocking/turbo boost thing.
Anyway, when I look up Z490 motherboards I see a couple of videos that talk about z490 boards automatically pump up the voltage too high. I don't want to buy a board and have to mess with it for hours to make it solid. I want it to be solid as my i5/Z170-a out of the box.
So I'm wondering is excessive voltage something I should be worried about with Asus Z490 boards or have they fixed this problem?
Thanks!
