NEO3: excessive CPU/DRAM voltage?

Moderators: chensy, FATechsupport

Hello,
I have a number of SBCs with the Rockchip 3328 SOC; now the NanoPi NEO3 too.

Oddly, the NanoPi NEO3 is the most power hungry and the hottest of the bunch, despite running at the same frequency (1.3 GHz).

I'm running stock FriendlyCore, with the latest updates.

This suggests that the CPU voltage (and probably DRAM voltage) are set a bit too high.
Is there a way to try lowering the voltages?
For example, with the Raspberry Pi you can "play" with CPU voltage by adjusting a parameter in /boot/config.txt

Thanks!
