Strange GPU Voltage readings

[Lukej32]

Hello guys,

My GTX 670 died a few weeks ago, so I got myself an GTX 1060 and I am very happy with it so far.

I was just having a check through HWmonitor earlier and noticed under my GPU that VIN0 was showing 632.5 V. I opened then closed this program and it went to 32.763V. I then checked in the MSI app and this was reading 0V constantly.

This makes it seem like the voltage sensor is faulty, is this a card or a mobo issue? I can live without voltage reading, but it would be interesting to know why this is. My concern is earlier today I installed new CPU cooler and had to move my ram about so it could fit, and one slot was very tight and I had to use more force than I would have liked so maybe this somehow damaged the motherboard, as i'm pretty sure I would have noticed this anomaly before.

Thanks.

Did you unlock voltage monitoring in MSI AB settings? Mine was reading 0v too when I first got my 1070, just gotta go to settings and unlock voltage monitoring.

I did this, but still 0 voltage showing up.
Thanks.

I just downloaded GPU-Z and interestingly it does show a voltage (about 0.6V) not doing anything.

An update if anyone happens to have the same problem: I contacted MSI and asked about this issue;initially they asked me to reinstall graphics drivers and afterburner but this didn't work, they then said this is a common issue and has no effect on performance.

i have the same issue on a zotac 1060 mini. voltage was reading 32.767, then went u p to 569.500.

weird.
