So I just built a PC with a R3 2200G and I found on the internet that overclocking helps gain performance a lot. So reading online, watching videos on overclocking this chip, and I found on Reddit about the SOC Voltage thing, one of the comments said "the SOC Voltage should be around 1.2v". But my one in the bios (set at auto) is set at 1.5v should I be concerned? Is this normal? Here are my PC spec : pcpartpicker.com/b/sQxG3C

I did not want to open a new topic because it was my question about these 1.5V.

I have r3 2200g on asus b-350M-A MB. I put gpu on 1500MHz, gfx voltage on 1.2V and soc leave on (default) 1.1V. After save and reboot system my soc voltage automatically jump on 1.5V and i don't know why that happened.
Then i must to put soc voltage to 1.2V because 1.5V is to mutch. I read alot and i found 1.2V is ok, but we should not go over it. All under 1.2V will give a blue screen in my case. So 1.2V is stable for my gpu. My question is whether soc 1.2V is a safe voltage for everyday use? I use stock cooler and when i gaming my temps not go over 65C. I also overclock cpu on 3.85Hz on 1.32V. In prime 95 max temp is 82C in my case.
Did i just do it right or not, if I did not correct me.

Could it be a bug within Asus boards, or is this normal? This is the whole reason I've put up a thread, I'm afraid it could damage the APU in the long run..
