SpeedFan stats- don't quite understand....

What is vcore 2 and why is it so high? Also the +12v is showing 1.73v shouldn't this be about 11ish?

Forgive me if these are stupid questions aha first time i've used this app. Only used it to check the fan speeds.

My experience with SpeedFan says its looking at the wrong sensors to get that info.
I wouldnt get hung up on it., Its hardware support isnt too extensive.

Nope, just badly labelled readings that's all.

Vcore2 will be your Ram voltage.

ohh yeh, that makes sense then. Just unsure about that 12v reading though :S

Incorrect voltages are shown
Hardware sensor chips are generic devices that can be used to measure voltages from anywhere. The measured voltage must be converted to the range required by the sensor chip. Standard monitoring chips specify which external circuitry must be used in order to measure voltages outside some range. Voltages like 12V, -5V, -12V and some others need this external circuitry. Some manufacturers chose not to follow datasheets. If this is your case, then you will read unusual values from SpeedFan. Since this custom circuitry is not known, SpeedFan does not try to "guess" it as any reading wouldn't be safe. If you get really odd voltage readings, simply enter configuration and uncheck the relevant ones.

Cheers

i didnt see that. Just thought i'd ask here as i couldn't see a help or readme file when i downloaded it.

If your 12V was actually 1.73V trust me, you'd know about it.

Another good program to check temps & voltages is HW monitor, only way to properly to test the voltges is using a multimeter.

Eventually Speedfan gets updated with a new database for the new or non-conforming sensor chips. Just keep checking back on the website for updates.

I like Speedfan, as it's compatible with Samurize for my custom monitoring desktop
