Thanks @Martin, this is awesome.
A quick comment about the GPU, more than the tool, in case it helps anyone landing here, like me. I have a ROG Strix 3080 and it ran super cool until now; crypto mining all day at +1000MHz memory, fan in the 60% range, keeping core at 65C for days.
Today VRAM started throttling, so something changed.
New HWInfo confirms my VRAM temps are high, so this awesome tool has been the key to diagnosing this problem.
I've done nothing to the card, software, drivers. But I did shut down and knock around in the case installing things, then boot back up.
Maybe the (stock) cooling block is shifting or poorly coupled to the VRAM?
Something definitely changed for me, and I know others have this temp problem from the beginning, so maybe it's a mechanical issue with the heatsink. Just speculating.
Thanks again.
P.S. I downclocked VRAM to -500MHz in afterburner, HWinfo reports it still hits 104C. So yeah, I think my heat sink came loose, it's not getting cooled. Never did this before.
