Why HwInfo uses SMBUS?

[sblantipodi]

As title.
I use Corsair ICUE that widely use SMBUS to control things...

If I run HwInfo along with ICUE shits happen, disabling SMBUS helps but why HwInfo uses SMBUS?
What happen if I disable the SMBUS support in HwInfo? It seems to continue working

RAM temp monitoring/ LED control often use SMBus. If your RAM does not support temp monitoring you should be ok

For the record, RAM is the most common to use SMBus. Other devices might also use it.

Also. Corsair use their own data bus for some devices. Disabling SMBus will not fix conflicts of that nature.

Besides what @Fr0stX76 already mentioned, there are also several other sensors or VRMs using SMBus.
