Can anyone explain this behavior? This happens after setting a power plan's "Processor Idle disable" to "Disable Idle". This should disable all C-states other than C0 and run all cores at maximum all-core boost ratios, including Effective Clocks. It happens on a new installation of Windows 11...

Hello. At very high polling rates HWinfo measures CPU Package Power higher than the power limit, sometimes even without the power limit sensors triggering. These screenshots were made on my 13900K with the power limit set to 253 W: Is this expected behavior?

Hello. Even at 20 ms poll rate I run into this situation where HWinfo's IA Limit for PL2 stays nearly *permanently* on and effective clocks shows some throttling, while the CPU Package Power reading never hits the 253 W power limit even once. Comparing via Throttlestop software shows its Power...

Hello. I am currently running stability tests with HWinfo monitoring WHEAs in the background. Unfortunately I couldn't find a way to enable an audible notification/alarm when these occur. So instead I have to remember opening the HWinfo window from time to time. If this isn't already available...

Hello. Does HWinfo display the current TVB settings anywhere (temperature limits, downbin)? Thanks.

Hello. I wonder what "Added VRM monitoring on GIGABYTE Z690, Z790" means exactly? Wasn't VRM temperature monitoring part of v7.3 already, or was it only in betas? Was anything added that I don't see?

Hello. Currently HWinfo only reports the "CPU Turbo Max" for the fastest core and then the "Turbo Ratio Limits" per concurrent cores. But unfortunately it nowhere seems to list per core Turbo Max values? My current per core Turbo Max values would be: 59/59/56/56/56/55/58/58 Furthermore the...

Hello. There are three oddities about "Core Clocks" that make me wonder about accuracy and even reliability of the measurements. The following screenshots are on a 13900K. I may be understanding these wrong, though?! 1. Core Clocks may not catch maxima that Effective Clocks do catch. True...

Hello. I wonder if HWinfo's "IA voltage offset" measurement is dynamic or fixed? I set varying offsets based on CPU frequency (ranges) in my BIOS, but HWinfo always shows a single value. Now I wonder if this is a BIOS problem or a HWinfo limitation? I tried to start HWinfo during idle and high...

Hello. I wonder on what basis does HWiNFO calculate "Core Effective Clocks" to be lower than core multiplier based clocks when the CPU is 100% in C0 state? And why are "Core Effective Clocks" listed as considerably lower (300 MHz) for CCX0 on my 5900X when CCX1 is considered the worse CCX with...

Hello. I wonder why on Zen 3 (5900X) the CPU Package Power (and CPU PPT) is always 20 watts over Core + SoC in all load states? And why is there no sensor corresponding to these 20 watts of power consumption? CPU Package Power also reads higher than both PIN and POUT, which I assume speak to...

I like the tooltip function, but I often turn it off, because it keeps refreshing with every single pixel movement of the mouse. This causes unnecessary CPU load which then gets measured by HWiNFO. Please consider implementing a delay time for the tooltip.

Ahoi. Thanks for the latest version (6.40). Small issue: when poll rate is under 200 ms and Debug mode is enabled then HWinfo struggles to draw its own GUI in the settings window. When I switch tabs it only managed to draw a single line and leaves the rest of the window blank. Regards!

Hello, on my W10 installation HWinfo's sensor polls/displays at slower rates than what is set up as Global polling rate. I reported this problem sometime last year and it is still present in the latest 6.34-4300. - When the Windows system timer is kept to its default of 15.625 ms and 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 =...

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.

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...

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!

Hello everyone! I would like HWinfo to provide information on USB hubs, especially resolving the vendor ID that tells me the manufacturer of the chipset. HWinfo, Aida and Device-Manager show more (Aida/DM) or less (HWinfo) information, but only the somewhat outdated software ASTRA32 resolves...
