Thanks for the comments :) Does this bios update improve performance? I know the maximum is 4.2ghz, can these bad readings translate into bad performance? or is it just the software that is bugged? Answer from earlylol on reddit.com

r/overclocking on Reddit: PSA: STOP USING HWMONITOR. USE HWINFO64 AT ALL TIMES. REFER TO EFFECTIVE CLOCKS. That is all.
February 7, 2023 - Literally just came out of a thread discussion where HWMonitor was reporting 6.4Ghz on an r5 7600x with no overclock. I had a skylake 6700 non k blk overclocked once, and it reported 800mhz and 45'C, which all cores loaded at 4 2ghz P95, flogging it. Reports Ryzen chips at idle doing 1.5v because it hammers the sensors so hard it spikes the voltages.

November 27, 2018 - New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. Share ... It is notoriously inaccurate - especially for frequencies. You need HWInfo64. ... I played for a little and HWMonitor said 4.4 but HWInfo said 4.05.

March 17, 2022 - All pretty much the same. I like the layout of HWMonitor personally. ... Some googling would show it is made by CPUID, so their site is probably the best bet...

I remember back in the 1st gen Ryzen days HWMonitor used to be way off! How accurate is it nowadays! It always reports my 5950x hitting up to 80c while gaming with an Aorus AIO 360mm rad!

r/buildapc - How accurate is CPUID HWMonitor?
February 26, 2021 -

I recently built a new pc and I left HWMonitor running in the back ground while I used it today for gaming and general use to see what sort of max temperatures and power draw I was getting. I'm running a completely stock ryzen 2600 which is advertised as having 3.9Ghz max boost clock.

When I was reading through today it says one of my cores max clock was 4580Mhz.

Is HWMonitor known to read wrong or have I got very lucky with my cpu?

Hello everyone. Ive been getting some bad fps in all of my games aka not what is projected in certain videos or even near their perforance. I decided to download userbenchmark and run tests in which it looked very normal. I also ran 3dmark in which also looked VERY normal. When i go to play any games, the fps isnt even near what it should be. In fact, my gpu usage and cpu usage are usually very low unless im running high fps in the main menu or looking up in the sky in certain games. Im a very comp player so i put fps infront of looks in every game i play. I mainly play rainbow six siege, rocket league, Overwatch and Fifa 23. In most games, im getting less then my friends im which one of my buddies has a 3070ti, 12700k with less ram and weaker PSU and is running the same resolution as me (1440p). I have a 240hz monitor only bc im an insane competitive gamer lol. But it runs 1440p. My problem is, when i compare my HW CPUID monitor to my task manager, the Usage with cpu are completely different. Most times, my cpu barely even hits 5% on HW Monitor while gaming. It seems that no matter what settings i run my FPS doesnt change that much. I also find it weird that i have 1 P-Core that maxes out and all the rest are quite low. I optizmize all my games, no vsync, drivers updated, everything in control panel is optimized. I have been playing games competitively for YEARS (over 7 years). Ive never once had an issue like this. Is there any fix to my problem?

May 16, 2021 - CPU Vcore and don't use HWMonitor. Use HWinfo64 ... There's nothing bad about it. It just doesn't have as much additional detailed information as HWInfo. ... Use the Vcore sensor you have highlighted in HWinfo. ... ok thank you after i review the 2 pictures i noticed both match in those 2 programs the vcore on Hwinfo64 and the Cpu Vcore in HWMonitor.

r/buildapc on Reddit: Low fps in games unless I have CPUID HWMonitor running in the background.
February 3, 2022 -

I don't know if this is the right sub for this question because I'm not sure if its hardware-related but here it goes.

I suddenly noticed low fps in games a month ago, mostly Battlefield (any one) and Squad, which was resolved by restarting the computer each time.

I tried everything. Updating my drivers using DDU (safe mode), updating my BIOS, reseating my RAM and GPU, switching off fast startup, switching to high performance power plan, etc.

And, by accident, I've been getting better fps by having both ISLC and HWMonitor running in the background. Now, I understand how ISLC can help with memory leaks, but why is HWMonitor helping me with fps?

Here are my specs:

  • CPU: i7 10700k

  • Board: ROG STRIX B460-H Gaming

  • GPU: EVGA GTX 1070 Ti

  • RAM: 32GB @ 2400MHz (Just one stick)

  • PSU: EVGA Supernova 850 G2

  • Drive: m.2 SSD for OS and some games, some other games are installed on a SATA SSD.

Any help would be appreciated.

I recently had a computer crash, it is insanely hot outside, I think my computer crashed due to overheating, and i wanted a program to monitor that. I've looked this up a couple times and I've seen HWMonitor multiple times, but is it a safe non-virus program?
