Hello everyone.
I have a question regarding the sensor readings that I am getting with HWiNFO64. I am not overclocking or anything, but I like to monitor what's going on inside my pc. Up until recently, I was using a version 5.86-3480 of HWiNFO64 - mostly to monitor rail voltages etc. But some time ago, I noticed a very strange reading from my core clocks and bus clock. They can be seen on screen #1. My CPU is a i7 4790 non K - so, I was quite shocked to see frequencies over 4.000 MHz. I got similar reading only once after that, and then I decided to update HWiNFO64 to the (then) recent version of 6.20-4030 which I have been using until now. So, the fluctuations aren't as big (as seen in pic #2) - but they are still there. Also, I got a reading of Max Core Frequency 4100 Mhz from HW Monitor - but I've heard that fluctuations are quite common with this program.
So my question is: Is there something wrong with my PC or is it just a reading issue? I must add that those fluctuations happen mostly when I am not doing any CPU-intensive tasks, such as browsing web, watching a video, etc.
I'll add my specs, just in case:
Motherboard: GIGABYTE B85-HD3
CPU: i7 4790
GPU: GIGABYTE GTX 1050 Ti Windforce 4GB OC
PSU: Corsair TX650M
OS: Windows 7 64 bit.
