Hello, i have an asus Z790 - A gaming wireless ddr5 and in my bios it shows that my cpu core voltage is 0.6 and on hwm its double that voltage im quite sure 0.6 is not normal and its impossible for my cpu to be on that voltage i have a i7 13700K.

Hi @zkrakenx_ 

Use HWINFO, not HWMonitor. Whilst the UEFI puts a slight load on the CPU, that voltage is likely correct for a low-power state. It sounds like you're potentially confusing the CPU VID with the vCore measurement. VID is the target voltage requested by the CPU. Vcore is the actual voltage being delivered to the CPU cores.

Hi, just had the same problem. However, with a TUF GAMING B650-E WIFI (UEFI version 3067) with Ryzen 9700X.

I only wanted to adjust the fan curve a little. I didn't make any other changes.
After saving and restarting, I suddenly only had around 0.6V on the CPU.

After resetting the UEFI it worked again, after restarting the UEFI it showed 1.334V again.


Then I adjusted the PBO settings (to “95W Eco-Mode”). After saving and restarting, I only had 0.6V on the CPU again. After changing the PBO again, but this time in the AI-Tweaker, then saving and restarting, it now has the correct volt values for the CPU again.

(Yes, CPU Core Voltage)
