I am afraid I couldn't say, I don't have the details. I do know that the VRM section (power delivery) uses different components. That is the reason I suspect you are getting inaccurate readings from Aida64. From a visual inspection the boards look almost identical. I do know they offer almost identical features.

i am pretty sure teh voltages can be found in the "HW Monitor" tab in UEFI. Have you scrolled up and down (with mouse or Up/Down arrow keys) ?

@Xaltar
as far as is read here Minh only used AIDA64 to check the voltages until you reocmmended FStream (plz correct me if im wrong Minh Khang).
When he talked about HWMonitor the "HW Monitor" tab in UEFI was meant ;)

So i guess the problem is with AIDA64 reading wrong temps, FStream will certainly show the correct voltages.
Minh Khang, if you have not done yet, i would recommmend downloading "HWinfo" or "HWMonitor" and check there if you want certainty.

If that is the case then it is being misread on your monitoring app. You can try checking with other monitoring apps but the ASRock one should be 100% accurate. They designed the board and code the monitor for the exact sensor and design used. 3rd party apps don't have access to the designs and sensor types. If the design is different to the Gaming K4 (the board the Gaming X is largely derived from) then that could explain the misreading. 

It can be scary but typically, with that kind of over volting on your 12v rail you would be seeing some seriously high temps on your CPU and VRMs. For what it's worth HWMonitor was reading my Vcore as 5.23v on the version that was available when I got my X370 Taichi. The next version read my Vcore as 0.9v... Neither are correct.

These things can happen with new board models. It can take a while for 3rd party monitoring apps to be properly updated. The fact that you have tried more than one PSU tells me this is an error in the reading of the sensor. The PSU provides 12v within a 5% tolerance. 11.4 - 12.6 is the spec, anything outside of that is out of spec and indicates a bad PSU, you also don't want to see rapid fluctuation witin the tolerance. One bad PSU is possible but I find it hard to believe you got more than one, especially the Seasonic unit. Bare in mind that some magic would have to happen for the board to turn a 12v input into 14v. 

Honestly, I don't think you have anything to worry about, especially if your temps not off the chart.

Download and install F-Stream:

http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/Fatal1ty%20X370%20Gaming%20X/index.us.asp#osW1064

Check the readings under "System Info".

I suspect the sensor is not being read correctly by HWMonitor. If the readings are the same (14v on the 12v) post back.

updated to BIOS 3.00, tried another Gaming X mobo from my neighbour friend and the current is still over.

Right now, I'm thinking it's an issue with the sensor readings from the default bios that your board is using, not translating well to AIDA64's reading code. 

If your motherboard currently has the option to flash the bios from within the bios usually called instant flash, then I'd suggest downloading and updating to the most recent bios for your motherboard, which is version 3.00. 

If your bios doesn't have the option to instant flash from the bios, you'll have to use the DOS bios flash method to upgrade to version 1.10 and then upgrade to 3.00 from within that bios version. 

If that doesn't fix the bad power readings, it could be possible you have a bad motherboard, but it's really hard to say at this point.
