Is this correct ? ( CPUID Hardware Monitor )

[neoglow]

Hey everyone,

Ive just been having a look at my rig using the CPUID HW Monitor program when I noticed the volts on my graphics card, an EVGA GTX 460 For The Win version.

I know the program isnt 100% accurate but that looks way too low to me, what should it be on? Around 3 volts?

It may explain why I have been getting some artifacts recently in games like dead island and crysis 2, is it not getting enough juice to run stable?

The first pic is loading up HW Mon and reseting the min/max values. The 2nd pic is HW Mon running whilst playing Far Cry 2 for about 5 mins.

Any advice guys? Can anyone else post up thier HW Mon results to compare?

Many Thanks!

Looks OK to me.

The GTX 460 operates at 1.0V give or take.

3.0V would kill it.

Yep, thats fine, 3v wow = dead graphics card.

If it reassures you my 470 is currently idling on 0.88v

OK, cheers guys. It just seemed very low to me, my bad!

Ignore volts on this app it's more often than not wrong my 12v says it's running at 9v on mine.
Check the voltages in bios and it's a different story artifacts would be more likely gpu getting too hot or wont do the clocks it's set to anymore, was it a refurb model by chance ? and what style cooler has it got ?

I hope it wasnt a refurb model as I paid full whack for it and the cooler is the standard one it came with, have they changed/updated them?
