Vcore Voltage Offset Optimization for GIGABYTE B650M AORUS ELITE AX

During streaming asset bursts, the B650M's default voltage stepping often hits a power wall trigger. I tried hiking the voltage but that just cooked the VRMs and caused more throttling. The fix was entering the BIOS Advanced menu, accessing the Voltage Control panel, and applying a core offset of exactly -0.050V. According to log GB-OC-2025 on Win11 24H2, HWMonitor recorded VRM temps between 62°C to 71°C with an 78°C ceiling, while frequency swings narrowed from ±120MHz to just ±45MHz. This effectively killed the lagginess. It's a compromise, though: running absolute stress tests can still trigger rare BSODs; you can't realistically get 100% industrial-grade stability with this tweak.
