Someone can assist you by guiding you online on using a multimeter to read your voltage reference points.
Someone can assist you by guiding you online on using a multimeter to read your voltage reference points.
I own an MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard and an Asus Strix GeForce GTX 1060 6GB OC edition with voltage read points.
I’ve never done this before, but I’m told that if you know how it works, it provides the most accurate readings compared to CPU-Z and other tools.

Begin by adjusting the multimeter voltage display to 20VDC, as the computer voltages are approximately 12VDC and lower.
Attach an alligator clip and securely connect the negative terminal of the multimeter to the ground on the computer.
Now only the positive lead remains; touch it at various voltage points.
Be cautious not to create a short circuit using the multimeter's positive lead, since the display readings are very close together.
Good luck!

Thank you for your help. I’m trying to better understand the differences between software and voltage readings, and I’d like to see how they work together. I’m aware there’s a risk if I make mistakes with the meter, but I don’t often modify my setup, so I usually check here first, watch tutorials, and plan before doing anything. All components have safety features, so it seems unlikely things could go wrong.
It's curious why voltage measurement points are accessible even when using them isn't advisable.
