this is a real sensor for protection shutdown with threshold at 85C

alright. so even if it is virtual sensor it probably estimates values from two or more other important sensors, probably for fan control or system protection shutdown. just want to avoid running more than one app probing EC at the same time

OTPC is listed as an embedded method in ACPI info so i think it is a real sensor more likely than not. can you check why is not shown in DELL EC and try to add it there? from a short google search there are other systems with this method but nobody says anything about it. also Temp4 could be...

tried to put GPU at max overclock and stress it for a couple of minutes - OTPC remained below 70C when GPU VRM overheated so it is likely not related to GPU VRM tried to discharge battery to 85% and charge it at standard rate 32W - OTPC about 40C which is the same as in idle so it is not main...

many options were hidden in its BIOS, but graphics card priority is not one of them - it doesn't exist at all, so yes

FYI, many recent laptops can't actually work with iGPU disabled, as that's how they're designed - iGPU is used for displaying frames and dGPU for heavy tasks (well, in theory maybe you could disable iGPU, but it would take graphics drivers hacking and BIOS IRQs and who knows what modding...)...

recently found out about one more sensor inspiron 5576 has while tryin out siv64 tool: T1 ACPI DTS1 corresponds to EC CPU thermal reading in hwinfo T3 ACPI VGAT corresponds to EC GPU (GPU-1) thermal reading in hwinfo T4 ACPI SYST corresponds to both EC Temp4 and ACPI System thermal readings...

ok, APU temp "sensors" in uprof should not be used then, however dGPU temp sensor within the same app is the actual sensor, not just some dummy calculation, as it is showing identical temperature as dGPU sensor in hwinfo. i have noticed something else during extensive tests: example 1...

checking power readings using AMD uprof shows this sensor, as well as separate sensors for CU0 and CU1. but there is the temperature offset of some kind as the readings are quite lower than in hwinfo for CPU temp. are they using ADL to poll these sensors, because i've tried enabling ADL in...

Hi In my case, when watching video using integrated AMD R7 graphics then utilization is reported as GPU Decode, if i switch it to be played using RX560 graphics then AMD R7 shows it's utilizing GPU Video Encode 3. Is there any bug with it or this is how it's suppose to work in crossfire mode?

sorry, here it is

main window in hwinfo displays Super-IO/LPC Chip: SMSC SCH5317 but the IO chip on the board is IT8528E, there is no SMSC chip at all Computer Brand Name: DELL Inspiron 5576

VBIOS has been examined, and seven power related values increased to 100 (TDP, TDC, small power limit, battery power limit etc.) unless there is another undiscovered limitation i'd rule out VBIOS. just hope it is not driver as that could be a nightmare to patch as well as system BIOS SMU. since...

ok, that confirms 1 and 2 are GPU drivers issue. what about #3 have you ever encountered a situation where the GPU driver caps the allowed current into the core? i cannot go higher than 1350MHz with noticeable impact on performance, even OC from 1300->1350MHz yields smaller performance increase...

voltage sensor never existed on AMD R5/R6/R7 graphics even after fresh windows and hwinfo install. until recently i thought it is because there was no sensor on integrated graphics, but then i was testing something in linux and noticed it is actualy there and working as expected
