Asus B550-F Gaming no lack of sensors.

Since I upgraded my PC case for bigger one, I decided to upgrade (downgrade) my mobo to ATX as well, because ITX was too much condensed and overall. 

 

As in title, Asus Strix B550-F Gaming.. is this where Asus saving money ? 

 

My previous ITX was Aorus B550 Pro AX, which has all of the sensors, although DRAM voltage sensor was lying for about 0.250mV higher than it was set in bios. 

 

Back to things that matter, I can't find anywhere in HWinfo64 DRAM voltage Readings or VRM Temps.. so I guess there is no such sensors in this cheap motherboard ? 

 

Bios updated to newest available, to avoid any bios issues, and get all features. 

 

Is there anything I can do ? Instead of buy different mobo

Gigabyte puts their DRAM voltage sensor that is reported in software right at the output of the VRM, and due to the resistance of the power plane and DRAM socket there is a voltage drop, so in actuality it is running at the set voltage, their sensor is just poorly positioned.

This is just kind of a thing ASUS does. VRM temps aren't even present in software on boards like the Crosshair X670E Gene, let alone this one. There should be a DRAM voltage sensor somewhere, it's possible that it's just labeled weirdly (they have a habit of renaming voltages for no reason, main example I can think of is 12/13th gen having VDDQ TX that they call IVR Transmitter voltage), but I'd be surprised if the VRM temp sensor was present in software.

 

It's not like those sensors aren't present on the board, they are 100% there and functional, it's just that ASUS for whatever reason decides that they don't want to expose their readouts in software.

Well, there is literally no presented voltage for DRAM because there's nowhere any value of 1.35V (only on GPU section) so I guess no VRM and DRAM Voltage presented here
