what is this red

can someone tell what this highlighted red is referring 2? i haven't overclocked my computer but its showing dangerous high voltage somewhere. i personally think the software is faulty

Its saying that the -12v rail from your PSU is not accurate (looks like -12.60v)
Could be due to an older PSU reaching the end of its life or a low quality PSU

The selected voltage is outside of the tolerences that the program expects.

Configure that voltage in the setup of the program and adjust when you see warnings.

Q: Most voltages in Hmonitor marked as red, and have strange values. Why?

Unfortunately, not all vendors conform to the specification of sensor chip vendor, or plug voltages in a different order. One such vendor is QDI. Hmonitor has an option for correct voltage readings for some QDI models, consult mainboards list for additional information about particular board. For all other cases, you can simply disable the voltage panel by clicking on the red Hmonitor logo in the upper left corner of the Hmonitor panel, and unchecking "voltages".

Q: Voltages seems to be correct, but Vcore and/or VIO voltages are in red. How can I correct that?

Various CPU types and MB models require different nominal voltages. For example, most P-IIs works with 2.0V core, whereas P5 requires 2.8-3.3V. All you need is to go to the settings window, and set right nominal values for Vcore and, possibly, for VIO voltage, because VIO can be varied from 3.3 to 3.6 v for some MB models.

Ignore me plz, as usual

thanks for that clarification ns400r. i'm not sure if i understand entirely

i replaced my older psu with akasa 500w recently. is this normal or should i be worried?

Should you worry ? No.

-12.06v is ok for a -12v sensor. In fact it's almost spot on.

What uses the -12v rail in a modern system?

Because of this what do some PSU manufaturers do with the -12v rail?
