^ lol. obviously your views are pretty rigid.
there is a thing called load line caliberation. that will increase/deccrease you volts.
also on my motherboard, which has a digital VRM, it continuously monitors the stability and voltage of my cpu at a couple of thousand times a second. It will increase the volts if it finds necessary, until and unless i turn LLC off.
same goes for the Digi VRM having asus mobos, the 970 evo etc.
infact for some reason (probably due to poor designing by asus), the VRM rated voltage was always .2V more ,during load testing, than what i applied.
Load line calibration depends on what voltage you have set. And being Digi VRM or conventional VRM, every VRM monitors CPU activity and sets voltage accordingly. My motherboard does that too. I set 1.375 LLC on and C&Q off. It will be 1.368 idle and 1.4V extreme load and 1.380 moderate load(Songs, files, browser and all). So you see it is near the one I set in BIOS.
But if you set 1.7V through the BIOS, even LLC will never allow 2.172V to be driven to the CPU. It is hardware limitation(VRM) and cannot be controlled by software(BIOS).
