Title: Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R _ strange numbers in CPUID Harware Monitor
Post by: neurocon on November 23, 2010, 08:45:26 am: hi
I just build a computer with a Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R. it seems to work properly, but i have some strange numbers in CPUID Hardware Monitor:
it shows incredible voltages on the +12V and -5V rails : +12v= +5V , and -5V= -1V ... while the bios shows normal voltages.
how could this be ? are there any other programs i could use to read these numbers ?
is there a problem with my mobo ? psu ? windows (7 x64) ?

here's my set-up :

Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R
Core i7 950 Bloomfield (BX80601950)
Noctua NH-C12P SE14
CORSAIR CMX6GX3M3C1600C7 DDR3 3X2GO
2 x WESTERN DIGITAL CAVIAR BLACK/1TB SATA 6GB/S 7200RPM 64 MB
1 x WESTERN DIGITAL CAVIAR BLACK/1TB SATA 3GB/S 7200RPM 32MB
SAMSUNG SH-S223L/BEBE NOIR SATA LIGHTSCRIBE
ATI FIREPRO V3700
Antec CP-850

It is obviously just a reporting fault in the software. If there was anything wrong even close to those figures your computer wouldn't even start.

Are you using the latest version of the CPUID software?

If so I would suggest removing it and re-installing to see if that fixes it. If not check on the website to see if there is a patch.

It's not something I have seen anyone else complaining about on the forum. :o

Post by: Dark Mantis on December 09, 2010, 03:22:21 pm: My first reaction would be to think of a corrupt download of the software. I would advise you to remove it and then download a fresh copy and run it again.

Secondly would be to check what BIOS version you are using and see if there is a newer one available.

Post by: neurocon on December 09, 2010, 08:33:32 pm: i did that and the numbers are the same.
BIOS is FB. i will flash it but i doubt it will change anything.

There are newer BIOS versions for both revisions of the motherboard.
