Thinking about the last post made me realize that with 17 threads of full load being shared on 16 logical cores there is context switching happening. And using only a single decimal digit for "Effective" means that it misses the switching while the Multiplier keeps rounding up and down because...

More or less the same thing when I apply full load, else they read 0.x to 1.x GHz on most cores, so they generally of less use to demonstrating AVX load offsets happening. I did a different test setup, though, that revealed that the multiplier readings don't agree with the effective readings...

Thanks for the quick replies. I am using a 9900K, for these tests the CPU is clocked to 5 GHz on all cores with an AVX offset of 1 (4.9 GHz). There is no other throttling happening. I disabled all C-states, disabled Speedshift (via Windows power profile's "Autonomous Mode" setting) and set...

I manually set the core and AVX ratios/offset, so that part is covered. I should clarify that I meant HWinfo's monitoring. It is reporing single cores to use an AVX multiplier when I would expect all cores to drop the same once any AVX load is happening. So when my CPU is set to use x50 on all...

Hello. As far as I know the AVX offset is applied to all cores at once, even when only a single-threaded (1 core) thread invokes it. So when a single core runs a constant AVX load then all cores are clocked down according to the offset. Example: 5 Ghz all cores overclock, AVX offset 1 =...

Turns out that I found an easy way to make HWinfo stay always on top in combination with normal "always on top" software (like 4Tray Minimizer). Just start said software as Administrator and voila, both HWinfo and Windows Resource Manager can be made to stay on top.

Any news on this. For Windows' own Resource Manager I found a workaround via the application OnTopReplica, but HWInfo is not detected by that application. So a built in "always on top" function would be very useful for the sensor window.

Looks like a bug then. After the update to the new version these came up crossed out. But I still was able to "Disable" them before I hid them. Now I them set the to show again and they were automatically enabled without red cross right away.

But it mostly always happens when HWinfo is started (with periodic polling disabled). I hardly ever get a proper reading from the get go and thus always have to enabled periodic polling at least for a second to get a correct value. So maybe HWinfo should do something like read 3 polls at startup...

Since they were all crossed out in red I assumed that HWinfo cannot read them for my GTX 780?

Hello, is there an "Always on top" function hidden anywhere? I use third party software to make windows stay always on top, but several programs I tried fail to keep the HWinfo sensor window on top (or even offer it there). Thanks and regards.

Unfortunately this is still happening in the latest release, so I have to keep periodic polling active to get proper numbers.

Noticed a those sensors, too, but for me they are all crossed out in red. So I just disabled and hid them. ;)

When I run sensors Bus Clock based and turn off periodic polling then I often have to restart HWinfo once or twice. The problem is that it very often reads/calculates the bus clock as a few MHz too high (2-3). With periodic polling this also happens, but then is corrected by the next poll...

Please consider implementing a Refresh button/functionality that refreshes the currently active sub-tree/page. This is especially useful for hot-pluggable hardware like USB devices. I would also like being able to switch between HWinfo functions without having to enable the Welcome screen and...

Great, thanks!

Yep. Especially on PCIe -> USB sub-trees there can be a lot of clicking on small + icons. ;)

Hello, I would like to use "Expand all" only on the sub-tree I am right-clicking on. Is there such an option already? Because current "Expand all" really expands everything, which is rather unwieldy. Thanks!

Seems to be working great. Thanks again! Is there any button/function to reload/reanalyze USB ports (similar to what SIV offers)? So that you don't have to restart HWinfo when USB connections change.

Great, thank you. Could you please resolve the vendor IDs, too? This would make it so much easier to identify hub vendors quickly (my main use).
