    I was testing my gfx cards stability using OCCT and was looking at the graphcs it produces and noticed this.

    On the 3 and 5V graphs, the blue line is pretty close to the red line.

    On the 12V graph, it is nowhere near.

    Is something wrong or is this supposed to happen :S

    Thanks

    Just tried to run OCCT whilst HWMonitor is running and it told me that it uses HWMonitor to monitor voltages.

    With that in mind, I get pretty much the same results as you when I run HWMonitor, 3.3v and 5v are within the expected boundries but 12v reads as 0.09v.

    The fact I am able to boot, run the software and type this on the PC that I'm monitoring gives me a hunch that the reading might not be entirely accurate so you probably have nothing to worry about.

    yeah dw its just an inaccurate reading there was another thread with the same problem.

    had to monitor voltages from the PSU using software especially if the mobo doesnt have probs for it
