I opened cpuid hwmon to test temps. Looked at voltage 12v shows 15
5v shows 3v.
Used dmm and 12v is 12.4 and 5v is 5.14 which are proper. Anyone had this issue prior is it a bug or faulty sensor it's a msi a970-g46 mobo

AMD boards are notorious hard to read with software tools so as said above use a multimeter on a unused molex connector.Can't do 3.3V that way,but 5V (test black+red wire) and +12V (test black+yellow wire) can be done.
It's abit better with AM4,but AM3(+) not worth looking at with above mentioned software tools.
I'm not 100% worried does show proper in bios scared me with them voltage swapped psi with a more stable one (pc kept freezing) never tested voltage. Had same mobo version board in older build was showing proper voltage though with different cpu.
