Maximus X Formula and Core Temp Power reading

runningdodo

With my new system (Asus Maximus X Formula+Core i7 8700K) I installed Coretemp because I use it since many years.

The problem is, that Power information is incorrect. No matter how hard the CPU is working, it is stuck to 3,6 W, moves sometimes higher to 3,7 and seldomly a little higher. Most of the time, it shows constantly 3,6 W.

I have made a request in https://www.alcpu.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=5970 to the developper of Core Temp and his estimation is, that it is caused by BIOS setting of my mainboard and shurely not the fault of Core Temp Program itself.

This user, Phillyflyer, sames to experience the same issue with his Maximus X Code board : https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?103616-8086k-5-3ghz-overclock

What is going wrong here?

There is nothing wrong, you just disabled CPU SVID support.
If you enable it CoreTemp will be able to show your power readings.

Or you could just use HWinfo64.

Thanks, you are right.

If I set it to enabled, the little problem is gone. 🙂

Youre welcome, but if you overclock and use manual vcore just leave it off and use other software to read it.
