VR Vout Sensor broken ?

[Jacktrax303]

Hello folks,
I need your help please. After a defect of my Z690 I had to replace it with the same board. The computer is running so far, but I noticed by chance that the sensor for the second loop at "VR Vout" is very often not read out. The values permanently jump from grey to white and I'm pretty sure that I didn't have this problem with the identical board before.

Is the sensor defective here ? what does this second loop actually do ? is there anything else I can do ?

Thanks in advance, cheers!

That might be because the 2nd loop powers a rail that's being powered off. Should be normal.

Thank you for your quick reply. But what does this second loop actually mean ? Can I influence the switching off of the loop in any way?

Addendum: I have just checked this on my second PC (the computer has almost the same configuration with the same mainboard) where the 2nd loop power is permanently on.

As I said, can I somehow set this so that it remains constantly under power ?

Thanks in advance, cheers!

Depends on design, most probably it powers the iGPU.
