First of all, you said "instantly" which is not long term. Out of my own curiosity I frequently monitor with HWINfo and I've never seen an instance where my 5800X, nor my 3700X before it, SVI2 maximum core voltage report has captured excursions as high as 1.55V. Even though I'm willing to allow...

I suspect you're very much wrong.

As with all semiconductors, it's perpetually degrading any time it's operating, with any voltage, a higher voltage degrading it faster. I don't imagine the degradation rate is linear, much more of a curve that's starting the turn northward above 1.5V. I've read where AMD has stated occasional...

What motherboard do you have? have you updated BIOS? I think the overvolting/boost run-a-way issue only concerns the 7000X3D chips, not the regular chips s/a your 7700X.

I figured I should get back on this... I found the problem, or fixed it at least: I re-installed the chipset drivers. I didn't expect this because they were up-to-date and just recently installed, by me, in the clean Win11 installation. But I suppose it's possible either GPU driver updates or...

That did not work for me. Core 2 is still not dropping into C6 (indicated) even through frequent periods of 0% useage and utilization.

I recently installed v7.44-5100 on a clean install of Windows 11. My system is a Ryzen 5800X CPU on B550m Tuf Gaming motherboard, latest BIOS. What I'm seeing is that Core2 never drops into C6 state, based on the percentages (zeros for current, min, max and average). All the other cores are...

Does HWInfo currently report back any information on SSD utilization of a Host Memory Buffer (HMB)? If not, could that be a feature to add? As I understand it a HMB is used by some DRAM-less SSD drives to take the place of the on-drive DRAM buffers used for address mapping tables and are usually...

I used to be able to see the AMD AGESA revision in HWInfo's MAIN screens, but I can not any longer. Is it no longer possible to retrieve it...or is it just an omission from the current release(s) of HWInfo?

Why a vote? It's typical for many if not most PSU to drop +12V some as it becomes heavily loaded with something like a GPU during gaming.

I feel like I understand things a bit better now... although, what is the SIO:D. A new acronym and would it be a problem if it's always a bit delayed with it's reporting. I attached an image of the the SVI2 and Vcore voltage graphs when the system is relatively quiet, so you can see what I'm...

That's exactly what I'm thinking! so maybe what I'm really seeing is the 'last value' before all are sleeping and yet the Vcore reading can drop to 1V or less since it's the monitor chip that's reporting it. I'll try the snapshot polling. Thanks

Is it posssible the VRM is responding by lowering Vcore voltage to 1.0V or less when all cores are in a C6 deep sleep, but the SSVI2 telemetry is still reporting a higher voltage like 1.34V? Or should I also expect to see SVI2 voltage dropping to 1.0 V or less. I'm aware that reporting of CPU...

I've read here and other places that the (SVI2 TFN) voltage reading is reported by the processor in the SVI2 telemetry stream and so it's 'the most accurate' indication of the voltage the core(s) are seeing. I also understand that the Vcore reading in the Motherboard section is the output of the...

I'm using v7.06-4500. I seem to recall that HWINfo's system information tree would report out the AGESA version level either in the BIOS segment or the Central Processor segment, but I can't find it now. It does report out the SMU level at least. Has that been deprecated? If so why and could it...
