Core Voltage on CPU-Z lower than value entered in BIOS?

Hello, I am a newbie overclocker and I followed the directions in this video to OC my CPU to 5.0 GHz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoUtA7DKXhU&t=577s

Everything is going fine until I see my core voltage on my cpu-z application is half of what is in the video. The video says it should be showing 1.35V but I only have it as 0.672V: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/325142620915630083/401885470012997633/Screenshot_2018-01-13_15.48.42.png

Basically, is this going to cause me problems in the future? I'm downloading Prime95 right now but I'd like some second opinions.

After digging around I realize I have a vdroop problem. However I have no idea how to fix this. I have the Maximus X Hero and the Load Line Calibration is set to '6' as the video once again suggests which SHOULD result in close to no vdroop; however as the screenshot shows I am very far off from my desired voltage. Does anyone else have the same problem / any solutions for this?

I have ran Prime95 and within an hour two threads have experienced rounding errors.
