Hwmonitor Voltage readings

Solution


Those disconnected sense lines can read random values that change from power-off boot to power-off boot. Try shutting the system down completely, disconnect power for a few minutes, then starting back up and compare readings again.

I'd be more interested in a reading if the value changes during operation and in sync with something the system is doing.
The most likely is they are unused and unconnected sense circuits on the monitoring chip, but it depends on your motherboard. Those that are real voltages maybe someone with the same motherboard has figured it out; you can also compare readings to HWInfo and Aida or other utilities to see if one of them has it figured out.

Hi thanks for the quick reply ! Should I worry about them because for the past 2 months the vin6 value was 2.54V but today it is 1.78V both in HWmonitor and in OCCT stress test. I can't see any performance related issues but is everything normal ?

No no the Vin 6 value never changes it just does what I already told you ...while for the past few months it was 2.54V all the time now it is 1.78V all the time. Because I don't want to waste you time answer me just if I should worry about this or let it be. From what I can understand of what you are saying these are not used at all so they shouldn't cause any problems whichever value they get right? Thanks again for your help!

I have an update I did what you told me and it suddenly went back to 2.4V so no I'm sure that it is nothing serious! Thank you so much for your help. Just tell me if these disconnected use lines have any use or are just completely irrelevant. Thanks again
