MSI GTX 970, no VRM sensors?

Been overclocking my 970 for a bit and it seems to do pretty decent, 1520 / 2000 with no added voltage stable, wanted to check out VRM temps, but noticed that GPU-Z doesnt show anything, does the card just not have any or is it a bug with GPU-Z?

For shits and giggles try Trixx. Worst thing that happens is you divide by zero.

If anyone asks you never saw me.

won't work - Nvidia cards don't have VRM sensors at all - they also have poor VRM cooling

Depends on the card, yours probably doesn't have one if GPU-Z doesn't display it.

Been searching around a bit and it seems like the MSI card just doesnt have VRM sensors, but also one of the cards that does provide decent cooling for them anyways. Can see in GPU-Z that i got Eplida memory on my 970 is kinda meh, but atleast my card seems to overclock pretty good, a hell of a lot better than the 970 HOF card i tried out for a bit thats for sure.

MSI AMD cards have VRM sensors - 200 series did at least.

Yeah wrote it wrong, the MSI 970 cards doesnt :) My 390 did have it, but atleast the MSI 970 does have heatsinks on the VRM and the moderate overclock i have runs 100% stable 1550 / 2000.
