Why is my 14700K at 1.5 volts?

    I’m on BIOS 1301 on my Z790-E Gaming WiFi II with Intel Default Settings. During load (like OCCT stress test), the CPU usually stays at around 1.3v (though it peaks at 1.5), and is at 0.7v on desktop. Why is it so high? My CPU idles at around 40C and hit about 50-70C in gaming depending on the title with a 360 AIO. The system is otherwise perfectly stable and I’ve never had any crashes or BSODs.
