Great, thanks as well -- I'll try that out tonight (I'm working in the VM's now.)

Hi Martin, Just an FYI, if you need anything from me like logs, just let me know, but I noticed consistently when I have VMWare Workstation 10 running (Guest O/S's running,) and then I start HWiNFO, HWiNFO seems like it hung on "flushing buffers" -- I see lots of drive activity, but it goes...

OK thanks -- I'll reinstall GB SIV and see which property I should be looking at for the 3.3 voltage, as the only stable 3.3 reading is coming from the 3VSB. Maybe the AVCC3 is not connected like you mentioned. According to this video, it's an all digital design for power delivery (he talks...

Hi Martin, Hate to bug you again, but I do see this fluctuation consistently and searched here and google/bing/etc... and can't seem to figure out what voltage the AVCC3 should supply and whether or not it should fluctuate. Cursory, I think it's related to the +3.3v rail, but not sure, since...

Just a quick update...Intel support is as about as helpful and useful as a hole in your head. The quoted the maximum safe voltage for the 6850K as 1.52. I  had the same issue with Intel a few years ago with the Intel 730 SSD when they said it had no cap to prevent data corruption in case of...

Thanks for your help again Martin; ok, I'll try there and I'll call Intel directly, I'm not going to bother with calling Gigabyte, they are useless with support.

Hi Martin, Hate to bug you again, but one last quick question -- concerning Broadwell-E (and Haswell since they both use fiVR), I read your reply in another post: "On Haswell and later, the CPU features a Fully Integrated Voltage Regulator (FIVR), which is supplied a constant voltage of ~1.8V...

Hi Martin, thanks for the detailed reply, fully understand now, thank you!

Hi Martin, After turning off the GB app, for about 12 hours, the +5 and VCCIO look correct, thanks so much for your help! Just one quick question for you, concerning vcore, I don't see an explicit vcore reading. I know it's different with FIVR, and VID is just a request from the CPU asking...

UGH! Forgot about that! I started that last night and didn't close it. Thanks! I'll close that when I get home and will do a fresh log after that.

Gotcha, no other sensors tools running and if it was a PSU issue, then I would expect to see a lot more +5 6.24 / fluctuations in the log? And possibly system instability? I'm not sure if the BIOS checks on that too and will shut down the machine on a spike like that -- it may have to last for a...

Thanks, I'll see if I can manually set the VRIN in the BIOS to 1.85 (it gets as high as 1.903) Gigabyte monitor tools by default sets the max at 1.9 so the alarm keeps going off. I thought it was my eyes, but it's not, the GB App Center shows "WARMING" on the alert but should be "WARNING"

Also, sorry to bug you, but is this similar to +5[V] VR VIN (ATX +5V) [V] For that sensor, I only have two values: 4.969 and 5.

Actually, it happened again, but this time, I got a new low for the 5v: I opened the log in Excel and excluded the normal range of 5.01-5.04 and got this: +5V [V]    PCH Core [V]    VCCIO [V] 0    1.056    0.948 6.24    1.056    2.028 3.84    1.056    0.948 Could the sensor be bad...

Thanks for the reply. Good question. I may have launched HWMon and possibly coretemp too during this time. I noticed the +6.24 after 135 hours of monitoring, but I'm not sure when that happened and when I opened coretemp/hwmon (they were closed at the time I noticed this in HWInfo) I've closed...
