    Normal SSD Read/Write Activity?

    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...

    Motherboard Name Became Red for a Second?

    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...

    Is There Any Security Risk with Not Keeping HWINFO Updated?

    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...

    GPU Voltage Question- PCIe 12v Rail Voltage Specifically

    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...

    Virtual Memory Confusion

    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...

    Not Understanding Read/Write SSD Rates on HWInfo

    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...

    Are the VIN Voltages in the Motherboard Section "Irrelevant" Readings?

    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...

    Average Effective Clock and Core Effective Clocks on Idle

    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...

    Calculating Power Draw with HWInfo Confusion?

    I have an 1000w PSU with an RTX 3070 and a 5800x. the max power draw for the 3070 is somewhere between 220-250w, and the 5800x is rated for 140w? however I have Eco Mode 65w active, so it draws even less than that I’m trying to calculate my power draw from the PSU between my cpu and gpu, but...

    Why Does HWInfo Only Report 2 GPU Fans?

    just wondering why HWInfo only reports 2 out of 3 of my GPU fans on my Gigabyte RTX 3070 Eagle? cooling is perfectly fine and I am confident all 3 fans are spinning. is 1 of the fans 'uncontrollable' or governed by the other 2, and thus isn't reported or something? MSI Afterburner just...

    Normal Package Power and Power Consumption for CPU?

    would like to understand if the Power Consumption and wattage of my CPU is normal, both on idle and at 'full' load with Cinebench. I have a 5800x with Eco Mode 65w enabled, no undervolt and no other overclock other than XMP for the ram Idle (when watching videos, the Package Power is typically...

    Is This Behavior Okay for the GPU and PCIe Voltages Under Gaming Load?

    my GPU Core Voltage sits anywhere from 0.7-0.9v in games, and sometimes can spike fairly frequently up to 1.06-1.08v, which is the highest I've seen personally. to my understanding, when the GPU requests more voltage and power, it causes a sag in the +12v PCIe rail voltage I was playing my...

    Frequency Limit- Global (What is This?)

    unsure what this frequency reading is, as it doesn't match or come close to any of my clocks (I have a Ryzen 7 5800x), and it's definitely not anywhere near my ram frequencies. the description isn't clear to me either, so what does Frequency Limit- Global indicate in simpler terms? usually...

    What Does Red Power Reporting Deviation Actually Mean?

    I understand Power Reporting Deviation, and how it only 'matters' under full CPU load, with deviations <90% or >110% being the bad values, but what does it actually mean for the CPU and Motherboard if the PRD is in the red? (or >110). <100 means it's under-reporting and >100 means it's...

    Why Does Vcore Fluctuate More Than SVI2 TFN Voltage Readings?

    I monitor both the SVI2 TFN and Vcore for my 5800x; both of which obviously fluctuate under load. the SVI2 TFN is typically within 1.2-1.4v, while the Vcore can be a bit more 'reactive', I guess? for example, I will often see the Vcore in the 1.2-1.3v range, while also dropping down into the...

    What is "VDD Voltage"- Should I be Concerned If it Runs up to 1.1v In Game?

    title; what is this VDD Voltage reading in the sensors between the Motherboard and DIMM Temps? it doesn't have any info when I hover above it, and I struggle to find info online it's typically 1.019 when idle, and under load it will go ~1.080 and frequently reach 1.1v; is this a cause for...

    Behavior of SVI2 TFN CPU Voltage and Core Clocks in Games? [Help]

    for context, I have a 5800x and I tend to run with my Maximum Processor Power set to 99% to help with temps for now, which is not the point or focus of the post. when I play games, my SVI2 TFN CPU Voltage reads anywhere from 1.2v-1.4v with Core Clock readings of ~4.0-4.3; however, sometimes it...

    What In the World is 'AVSB' Voltage?

    hi, what exactly is the AVSB voltage reading under the Motherboard section? I see the 5v, 3v, and 12v PSU voltages, but what is the "AVSB" reading in between that? it dropped to 3.360 before, which I think it does sometimes, but I only ever realized it now when I hover over it, it doesn't...

    CPU Core Voltage SVI2 TFN Normal?

    would like to verify if my CPU Core Voltage SVI2 TFN looks normal, I'm sitting idle atm and these are the readings included my temps too, but mainly wanted to ask if 0.956 is safe. I have the CPU processor power limited to 99% when I'm not gaming, which is why voltage is in the 0.9s to begin...

    GPU Voltage Drops (Mainly Under Load) Help

    I have an rtx 3070 and whenever running Heaven Benchmark, or playing a game, the voltage readings on both HWInfo and GPU-Z will drop. on Heaven Benchmark, almost all of them drop below 12v, but when I play games, it's mainly the PCIe +12v reading that drops to 11.9v this sometimes happens when...
