Careful with Trixx, I think I've spotted a potentially fatal bug

Careful with Trixx people, it seems to have quite a serious bug...

I've got it set to start with Windows, nothing unusual there, but for some reason I've just rebooted and noticed my Fury's fans went to 100% for a split second and I noticed the temperature, again for a split second, go up to 140C!

I assumed this was just a bug on the temperature display in Trixx but checking GPU-Z logs I notice these VDDC readings right before these temperature "anomalies"...

1.4938V!!
1.5500V!!

I've reset Trixx and it's not done it since.

What the??
 
I've uninstalled it, I can't risk that happening again.

It could just be a faulty reading but I'm not risking it, back to stock for me until AB does voltage tweaks.
 
Maybe when they said "overclockers dream" they meant that it would be a real challenge to overclock and every 1mhz would give you a sense of satisfaction.

Just like intel saying most Devils Canyon CPUs would do 5ghz on air.
 
Yeah, if monitoring software says it's 140C for a split second, that is a glitch in monitoring which often happens when initialising software. Temp/heat/power simply doesn't work like that. You can't go to and back from lets say 60C to 140C for a split second. If it was 140C the fans would be at 100% for probably a minimum of 60C with the temp decreasing over that time in a fairly linear way.

It's likely the voltage also wasn't really that high.
