Yo ! I just came across a bit of a low value for the +12V rail while under load (playing BG3) and I wanted to know if I should start to worry ? I've never seen such a low value before as they usually hover between 11.95 and 12 but rarely do they go below that. The +3.3V looks quite low as well at 3.23, never hitting the full 3.3V value. PSU : MPG A1000G PCIE5 ATX 3.0 MOBO : MSI Pro Z790-A WiFi CPU : 13700K GPU : 4090 Suprim X Any thoughts ? Let me know ! Thanks.

Hello all - thank you for reading through my issue and helping me solve this longstanding issue. About a year ago, I upgraded my CPU from a Ryzen 3600 to a Ryzen 5950X. When I upgraded, I brought all of the pre-existing hardware with me (Nvidia 2070 Super; 32GB of 3600 RAM; 1TB NVMe SSD; extra HDDs; case; etc.), spare the PSU, which I upgraded from a 550W unit to a 1200W unit, both from be quiet!, and my motherboard, which I went from a B450 Tomahawk from MSI to a Gigabyte B550X DS3H. I upgraded for work, where I can effectively utilize the additional cores the 5950X offers. After upgrading, I ran into a very weird issue almost immediately. Under large workloads (not synthetic workloads, to be clear. I've tried many times to recreate this issue with synthetic workloads to make this post many months ago and finally solve this issue) my graphics card would stop outputting video, spin its fans at 100%, and the entire system would become unresponsive. Only switching the PSU off, waiting ~30 seconds, and switching it back on would resolve the problem. Besides the obvious concern, this was highly annoying, as it occurred during a model I was running for work, and needed to restart. I thought it was a weird quirk from the new MOBO or CPU, so I upgraded the BIOS and went on. The issue didn't appear again until a few months later. I was more concerned at this point, thinking that this was a one time issue I had already solved. I thought there might be a bad connection between my MOBO and GPU, so I re-set it, and the problem didn't occur again for a little while. But, a few weeks went by this time, and the problem re-occurred. This time, while gaming. Getting more concerned, I did a complete re-install of Windows. Just to be sure, I DDU'd my system, and continued on. At some point, the problem kept happening over and over again. I wasn't doing anything particularly intense at the time, so it made me think that maybe something was dying on the MOBO or I had a bad unit to start. So, I completely switched out the motherboard back to the the B450 Tomahawk. For a while, the problem subsided. I went probably two months without it happening. But then, while running something for work, it happened again. The B450 Tomahawk, unlike the Gigabyte board, has a little indicator light on it for what went wrong. To my shock, it was the CPU light that was lit, indicating to me there is a CPU issue somewhere (no duh). The problem is, I have no idea what it could be. As I mentioned earlier, it's difficult for me to predict when this problem is going to happen, so I run HWinfo logging whenever I run my model for work, just in case I can finally catch this thing. Today, I finally did. It happened to me twice today, both while I was running the model and watching YouTube at the same time. The system crashed when the model I run for work was executing its most CPU intensive task. After which I hard reset the computer via the PSU. I've attached the log here, in hopes someone can decipher this thing for me. At this point, I have no idea what the solution could be. Perhaps tightening the mount on my CPU? But I've turned those screws all the way, it should be a good mount. Perhaps it's a bad CPU? If that's the case, I'd be sad, but also confused as to why it works fine 99% of the time. I've seen others on various forums have this issue before. Some solutions are offered, but they never respond if it worked or the solutions aren't applicable to that user. It would be really appreciated if someone could help me with this, I feel like I'm going a little crazy with this one, hope someone can help me finally move past this. Thanks so much for reading my novel! HWInfo Log.CSV

To start, here are pertinent PC specs: CPU - AMD Ryzen 9 5950x (running at stock speeds) Motherboard - ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero CPU block - EKWB EK-Momentum ROG Crosshair VIII Hero Monoblock, Digital RGB, Plexi Cooling - Two triple-fan (Lian Li UNI SL120) 360mm rads, one in the top (exhaust) and one in the bottom (intake), plus one additional 120mm exhaust fan in the rear of the case Coolant - About 1.5L of Cloud White EKWB EK-CryoFuel Solid Premix Coolant Pictures and a full list of parts can be found here: PC Part Picker Completed Build - Da Machine I tried my hand at water cooling for the first time last month, and since then I've been enjoying the aesthetic and sonic advantages a full custom loop provides. About a week ago, though, I started seeing some bizarre behavior with my CPU temperatures. At idle, CPU temps will jump from the mid-40s to the low-70s then back down again, with no obvious spikes in utilization in Resource Monitor; it then stabilizes in the mid-60s, which seems awfully high even for a 5950x. My GPU, meanwhile, consistently reports high-20s at idle, and mid-40s under load (which I take to mean that my coolant isn't particularly hot). I'd initially thought the issue was my TIM, so I decided to run a stress test with Prime95 and pin the CPU to 100%, which is where my entire theory kinda fell apart. Before I did any testing, I made sure all my fans were pinned at 100% duty cycle to prevent RPM changes from skewing results. While I was expecting my temp to shoot from 64c to 95c almost immediately, throttling the CPU or shutting down the machine, the temperature instead dropped about 6 degrees from 64c to 58c. After running the stress test for 15 minutes, CPU temps never went higher than 59c, but once I stopped the test the temps shot back up to 64c within 10 seconds. If it were an issue with my TIM I'd imagine the temperatures would hit tjmax when running a stress test, but instead the temps stayed shockingly stable well below tjmax. I've attached a video recording of this behavior (I would have liked to record a screen capture, but my entire pc went brrrr when I tried); it shows the end of a 15-minute stress test running on all 32 threads. I'm using HWInfo to monitor temps (verifying with Core Temp to confirm that the temps are reporting equally to various monitoring software), and I'm monitoring utilization with Windows Resource Monitor which shows ~130% utilization. Could this be an issue with my BIOS firmware? A faulty pin on the CPU? Something I haven't considered? Am I just being silly? This isn't affecting the usability of the system, and I haven't run into any thermal throttling issues, I just thought the behavior was strange and wanted to see if there was something I had goofed somewhere in the build process. I haven't checked my TIM yet, mostly because it would be a time-consuming and potentially expensive process (drain the loop, remove the tubing, remove the block, reapply the paste, replace the block, replace the tubing, refill the loop, bleed, leak test, etc etc). I'm willing to do that as a last resort, but I want to see if there are other things I can check first. Any advice would be much appreciated, and I'm happy to provide additional information if requested. Thanks much! P.S - The video shows data from HWInfo and Resource Monitor being passed through the Rainmeter interface FullSizeRender.MOV

Hi, So I'm overclocking my i7 9700k on Asus prime z390m Plus board and was able to hit 5.2ghz @1.33v, I dont under stand some of the below temps, which one is the vrm? I know that CPU(PECI) is the CPU temps. what about others?

Hello, Starting a few weeks ago I started experiencing frequent and seemingly random crashes on my pc. At first it seemed as if this only occured while gaming, however now it will happen randomly on startup or if the PC left on idle. Now the PC will seemingly run fine for a few days and then the issues will begin anew. Occasionally upon the reset I noticed that some of my Usb devices/adapters would stop working as well. Following one of the posts I saw online I attempted to use Hwinfo32 to log the issue, and ran a prime95 test, smallest. I did this as a friend wondered if it were a CPU related issue, sure enough it was an instant crash. I attached the log in hopes that someone can help me read what exactly is happening, as I am relatively new to troubleshooting and am having a hard time understanding the results. Two errors I found on Event Viewer consistently are "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.", as well as " A fatal hardware error has occurred. Reported by component: Processor Core Error Source: Machine Check Exception Error Type: Cache Hierarchy Error Processor APIC ID: 1 The details view of this entry contains further information." Things I have tried- *Fresh install of windows with the latest drivers and bios. *I was wondering if this was RAM related and ran a memtest86 with no errors on all of the passes. *Ensuring that all wires were properly connected. Any help would be appreciated, thank you! log.CSV

I want to underclock my cpu to reduce temps. I'm using Intel XTU right now because i can analyse the temps and clocks with the graphs and stress test but it seems kind of buggy. Many recommended to use throttlestop but i want to have a stress test and stats as like in xtu to know the reason for performance drops temps etc( using hwinfo but it doesn't seem to have continuous data analysis or stress test) So please suggest some tools to analyze reason for throttling,graphs like xtu and a good way to stress test. A Newbie here kind of hard to get things right Please help!

Hey guys, CAM doesnt let HWInfo read its fan speeds and liquid temps while it is open. I can't set my custom fan speeds to my AIO liquid temps if CAM is not running. Is there any way I can set my AIO fan speeds to maintain my liquid temps without using CAM at all?

SOLVED: I have an i5-9600K and a Gigabyte Designare Z390 (i know the motherboard is overkill, but was one of the only ones that had Hakintosh and thunderbolt support) I have seen in a lot of forums that this model of CPU can reach 5.1 all cores in some cases, but mine can't, well i can't all cores. I did some testings with the Intel extreme utility and prime95 and I came to the conclusion that at 1.360v which i know its a bit high, but I'm fine with that, it can do core 1 and 3 @5.14 GHz, core 2 and 6 @5.04 GHz , core 5 @4.94 GHz and core 3 @4.84 GHz (the core reference speed is set to 100.9 GHz). And when I apply this configuration to the motherboard BIOS I saves but when I open HWinfo it always tells me that all cores are ruining at the lowest core speed (in this case 4.84 GHz) and that the core voltage is not always at 1.360v but if fluctuates with spikes that can reach up to 1.460v (this when i tested all cores @5.14GHz). Does someone know why and how to solve this? Because when i check in the BIOS the changes I made are still there. (no AVX offset is applied)

While gamming and streaming, my system (with default air cooler) reach high temperatures. The motherboard (MSI 970A-G43) gets higher that the processor (FX-8320E). With HWiNFO64 i get some readings, but i'm not sure what exactly means. For the MB, CPU must be the socket, and Motherboard must be the rest of the system, but auxiliary and T1/D1+ gets really hot and i don't know what are they. The case (Versa H24) have 2 front 120mm intakes fans and 3 120mm exhaust fans (2 top 1 back).

So, I was looking at my gpu info in HWinfo (usually I'm watching the cpu because I have an overclock running on it) and I noticed there are three clock readings for my GTX 1070. A GPU clock, a GPU memory clock and a GPU Video Clock. I Know what the memory clock is, and I thought I knew what the core clock is, but I'd never heard of a video clock until now. It seems that my core clock in HWinfo is reporting almost 2ghz aswell which is much higher than the rated speed of my card (msi gtx 1070 gaming x) even when it's in overclock mode. The Video clock seems to align with the rated speeds of the card, but then what is the "GPU clock?" Can anyone tell me the difference between the GPU clock and the video clock, and point out why more core clock is noticeably higher? I'm not worried about it at all just curious..

So for shits and giggles I made sure my noctua cooler was properly tightened and reapplied thermal paste and in AMD Ryzen Master my temps are what you would expect. 33-42 C at stock voltages and clock speeds with about 44-55C under load. However, when I see the temps in AIDA 64 and HWinfo they have the infamous 20 degree offset and appear 20 degrees hotter than those in the AMD Ryzen Master software. Both AIDA 64 and HWinfo are up to date. I assume the temps posted in AMD Ryzen Master are the correct ones? Airflow in the case is great no impediments dust filters off but clean on the inside (case sits on top of a desk) plenty of intake and positive air pressure. I also have felt what 70-80C feels like on radiators and such I'm not feeling that kinda heat at all either even though thats what HWinfo and AIDA 64 both report.

HELP! What should I do? One day, I turn on my pc and hwinfo says "Warning: Current pending sector count" and "Warning:off-line uncorrectable sector count" then i installed crystaldiskinfo and it says warning. Although I haven't noticed any peformance drop in game loading time etc. I am still worried. What should I do? I built my pc 4 months ago(all new parts) and bought the hdd from amazon(Seagate BarraCuda 2TB Internal Hard Drive HDD – 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 7200 RPM 256MB Cache 3.5-Inch – Frustration Free Packaging (ST2000DM008)) The highlighted(blue) lines are the ones with a yellow status mark) on crystaldiskinfo. I did defragmant the drive, but nothing changed. Is the drive dying? should i get a new one? if yes, what brand?

Hi, Can i change the OSD readings in hwinfo to absolute value. eg instead of CPU speed: 4,608.13mhz to 4600mhz?

Is this accurate? Is this something i should be worried about ? Im not that worried about the 64% drive, thats my mac OS. But the windows 90% drive is just couple of months old.... Is this accurate what HWinfo is showing?

So ive been running my 9700k at 4.9ghz with 1.280 adaptive voltage. Today i noticed this in hwinfo How do I pinpoint the problem? Do I suddenly need more voltage? Ive not gotten any bluescreens or game crashes tho. So its a bit weird.

after a few games of csgo. max vcore 1.328 and temps are 74c? I feel like theese temps are very high. NZXT kraken x52 cooler, pump speed 100%, fan speed 80%.

So i got back to my computer. It has just been standing idle doing nothing. When i came back and checked hwinfo, i had some error messages, and i have no idea what this is.

Yo guys. I bought myself a all in one liquid cooling set, For some overclocking.At the moment I have overclocked it to 4.2 ghz (I don't know how to OC well, and this works fine for now) But while using prime95 to see if it's stable I noticed something. (using HwInfo)Under the name of your motherboard it says:CPU (TEMP)CPU (TEMP)Motherboard (TEMP)(And more names of things)But on the second CPU wilst running prime95 could reach temp from 82 degrees celcius. I am wondering if that is a temp of a sensor where I should not worry about. or is it my socket temp? (Which the max should be 72)It's not my cpu because my cpu has a margin of 31.1 (Amd Overdrive)So can someone please tell me if that is my socket temp? or that it is something not to worry about, Specs:AMD FX 8320 black edition (4.2 ghz)msi gaming 970 motherboard16 gb ddr3 rammsi gaming gtx 960 4gbP.S. I did a higher overclock of 4.4 ghz, and then that ''Cpu'' tab would reach 92 degrees

I just finished building a new gaming rig and I'm just in the middle of setting everything up but I noticed AIsuit giving me warning popups about my Vcore voltage which I Asume is CPU related and I looked online and saw people saying that AIsuit stats are sketchy and just to disable them so I did but I noticed in HWiNFO it also says my Vcore voltage is anywhere between 0.000v to 1.120v And constantly changing and then I saw people saying it should be almost completely stable so that kinda got me worried My CPU is a i5 4690k with a NZXT Kraken x61 cooler and a Asus Sabertooth Mark2 Mobo. Someone please help I really want to start benching my new hardware but I don't want to put it under load if there's something wrong or it's not stable!

It looks like the codenames for the upcoming Radeon cards have been revealed in a Hwinfo update. So we have the high-end called Hawaii, followed by Maui, Iceland and Tonga. From the update notes: Added AMD Volcanic Islands/Crystal: Maui, Iceland/Topaz, Tonga/Amethyst Source: http://www.sweclockers.com/nyhet/17392-amd-kodnamn-avslojas-i-ny-version-av-hwinfo Source2: http://www.hwinfo.com/txt/History3264.txt

I have been recently worried about my temperatures in my cpu. In my Bios, it says it is 65-78 Degrees Celsius. But in HWInfo, it has 2 temps, CPU 0 and CPU 0 Package. Temps are shown in the file. Which one do i believe? BTW i am using the stock cooler.

my AMD CPU got a driver update to the microcode and now its boosting to 4,981.7Mhz why and will this kill my computer? max cpu temp has been 57.1c max which seems odd also i have a noctua nh-d15 cooler but i don't think its that good thanks for the help, grim
