I know very little about the inner workings of SSD read/write activity and was curious if this was normal in HWInfo, the Read Activity and Write Activity will occasionally go from 0% to anything from 0.4 to 0.9% even while I'm not touching the computer is this typical behaviour, like to do...

I haven't replicated it since (I tried around 10 times), but yes I am on the latest version, at least last I checked. v7.66/the November 2023 release

I launched the app and scrolled down a bit, and saw something I've never really seen before the name of my Motherboard, in the heading for the mobo section, became red for a second. it was around the same time the Power Reporting Deviation went red as well, although the numbers were nothing...

I read up further on malvertising on MalwareBytes because it felt like an umbrella term ; I was right. obviously there's the classic case of clicking an ad and being taken to a malicious website, but what I was referring to is a 'drive-by download' I believe those are less common nowadays but...

I'm in Australia; I checked with a different browser on the Windows 11 system and the ads are there. ig it's just Chrome, weirdly enough, even though Chrome is the browser I was observing these ads with on my Win10 system and I am pretty sure that malvertising does allow the ad to potentially...

I figured so. besides that, is there any real reason why I see the aforementioned ads on the download site on my phone and Windows 10 system, yet they don't appear on my Windows 11 system? something to do with the OS? just found that odd just got standard Windows Defender w/ no adblock on...

sorry, I didn't get notified about the reply and it slipped my mind. I did just update to v7.66 but I had another security-related question, more so about the website I don't run an adblocker, which is probably considered a bit foolish in this day and age, so obviously ads do show up on all...

I've been using HWInfo64 a bit less over the past few months but I don't want to uninstall since I do still regularly open it and use it when playing more demanding games however, this means I've had to open it up and update it every month even when not using it. is there any security risks...

I have this image from when I first got the PC but I’m not sure if this shows the “cables going into the GPU” that you mention (super unknowledgeable about cables and connections) PSU is in that black area at the bottom, which I think is a shroud; Phanteks Eclipse p360a case

admittedly, I didn't assemble this PC myself and it's in a less-than-convenient location for me to just take a peep at the GPU or PSU (it's in a little cove underneath the desk; plenty of airflow and space for it, but makes it impossible to look through the side panel without pulling it out)...

even at 100 watts? the max of the 3070, I believe is 220-230w, so for the PCIe 12v Input Voltage to droop from 12.05v to this 11.85-11.89v range after reaching 100 watts is definitely okay? typically, I've never observed the game to push the GPU past 130 watts under a benchmark with highest...

when playing games, generally this happens in Destiny 2, obviously the GPU voltage may increase which will cause the PCIe 12v Rail voltage to sag; however, I want to know if my line is sagging too much, or if there's any kind of "threshold" that it should not sag past. obviously there's the ATX...

so 45% usage is nothing to worry about, I assume?

I have 32gb of ram/physical memory, and checking the Virtual Memory in Windows settings, it seems to be set to ~4800mb which appears to be the default. I saw that Virtual Memory is/should be at least 1.5x your physical memory, which comes out to 48gb checking HWInfo, the Virtual Memory...

just remembered there was another CrystalDisk software, I've downloaded that (CrystalDiskMark), and I'm seeing these results: this seems closer to what I see advertised all over the internet? with the 3400-3500mb read/write speed on the top columns

I’m really confused on the nature of read/write rates in HWInfo; my SSD is a Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2tb and I’ve seen that more modern SSDs have 3,000mbs read/write speeds and whatnot attached image is what HWInfo is showing for my SSD read/write rates while gaming (Destiny 2 is the game in this...

is this due to how my motherboard was designed? like, are they irrelevant because of my mainboard specifically? could they have meaning on a different motherboard, depending on the model/brand

I've typically just disregarded the VIN voltages (like VIN4, VIN5, etc.) because I saw that they can give unreliable readings due to the way the motherboards are designed or whatever; however, I'm now curious as to whether or not they have meaning. here's a screenshot of my Motherboard section...

it's been a week or 2 since I've really monitored anything in HWInfo and I've forgotten a lot about how some sensors are meant to behave. what caught me attention was the Average Effective Clock and Core Effective Clocks, particularly on idle load they are usually between 100-300mhz unless I'm...

I also got a similar answer from someone on reddit, and they also said that I shouldn't add them all up because they aren't all exclusive. so if I wanted to gain an "estimate", I would basically want to only add CPU Package Power and GPU Power, right
