Aida64 Strange Electrical Phenomena
Aida64 Strange Electrical Phenomena
Others have also noticed unusual voltage readings with the Aida64 extreme trial version. I'm testing a Xeon E5-1620 overclocked to 4.3Ghz, and temperatures stay in the mid-50s to low-60s. Yet the software claims the core voltage is 2.001 volts—definitely too high. I’m worried it could damage the chip if it hits that level. The system handles about 170W under CPU/disk stress, with full load reaching around 300W when RX480 is busy. The voltage rails look inconsistent: 3.3V shows 5V, 5V reads 1.827, and 12V reads 5.04. This behavior hasn’t happened before, especially on a budget Chinese board.
The 2V CPU input voltage is normal, the standard is around 1.8.
I believed Aida64 checked the vcore instead of the input voltage. I used the same setup on another device (x5670), which displayed the vcore at 1.3V and confirmed all other readings were accurate.
