Some strange behaviour by Hwinfo

[glowa]

Hello friends


I have the most recent HWinfo on windows 10, I have polling set up at 500ms, and whenever I click reset button my Maximum column on "Core temp" immediately shows ~80-90 degrees celsius even though I can NEVER see that value in Current column. Obviously I would not see that in "Current" column because computer is basically at idle and I see 30-32 celsius there.

I find this odd, anybody can explain this phenomenon? This is delidded 13900KS with a chinese direct die cooling and custom loop
Thank you

It could be due to a very short load spike during resetting of sensor counters.
You should see such temperatures during normal short load as well.

As I suppose, when you reset HWInfo, it resets the thermal history of your CPU, which is a record of the highest temperature that the CPU has reached since the last reset. This means that the maximum core temperature reading will show the highest temperature that the CPU has reached since the last reset, even if the CPU is currently idle.

This is perfectly normal and nothing to be concerned about. It is simply a way for HWInfo to track the highest temperature that your CPU has reached.

If you want to avoid seeing this high maximum core temperature reading after resetting HWInfo, you can either wait for your CPU to reach its peak temperature again or disable the thermal history reset feature in HWInfo settings.

To wait for your CPU to reach its peak temperature again, simply run a demanding application or game for a few minutes. Once the CPU has reached its peak temperature, the maximum core temperature reading in HWInfo will reflect the current temperature.
