    IMPORTANT Explaining the AMD Ryzen "Power Reporting Deviation" -metric in HWiNFO

    I had the R5 3600 for 3 years before I switch to 5900X Yeah, your PRD reading during the CB-R24 is way off. Meaning that the board is reporting back (feedback) to the CPU only half (49.7%) the true power consumption. CPU PPT reads ~53W but you have to divide that with 0.497 (from PRD 49.7%)...

    Package Temp Discrepancy

    I will consider the 2 on the left to be a little more accurate. At least the one on the CPU Enhanced section is usually polled straight from CPU. The one on the right is from board sensor and as @Martin said its unclear how ASUS is doing it.

    HWInfo64 maxing out CPU Temp?

    Also try this too, and in my opinion this one should be always enabled on Ryzen based systems.

    HWInfo window will not open

    It sounds to me that somehow the HWiNFO sensors window is going outside your viewing desktop area. Like to a monitor that now does not exist.

    Fan control and which CPU temp to use

    By default, AMD uses the "CPU Tctl/Tdie" sensor for CPU cooler temp control. Tctl = T_control This is what the board will use in BIOS to control CPU cooler through CPU_FAN header or CPU_OPT header, if no third party software is installed.

    Fan control and which CPU temp to use

    How could anyone answer that without knowing what CPU you have and what CPU temp sensors are available?

    Power Reporting Deviation has no meaning when gaming of doing simple stuff Please read the "Important Note"

    Screenshot please of HWiNFO sensors window (on full screen) when you run CB-R20 You can try different versions of cinebench also... This is a screenshot of CB-R24 while still running

    IMPORTANT Explaining the AMD Ryzen "Power Reporting Deviation" -metric in HWiNFO

    Is there a particular reason why AM5 systems does not show Power Reporting Deviation sensor? @Martin

    Getting unusual readings on the HWinfo

    For temperature (100+C) its just a bug of the CPU reporting to HWiNFO as the thread posted by @Fr0stX76 describes. For "Power Reporting Deviation" its normal for regular usage the values to be red and practically anything between 1% to 600% (I've seen). If you read the description of the sensor...

    Feature request: Averages for "Performance Limit Reasons"

    Those percentages would indicate the amount of time the sensor was "Yes" from the overall time the sensors window is running? (or from point the "clock icon" has reset all values?) Like CPU C-States Residency average?

    Intel 11900kf VID voltage values BIG spikes

    This is what is really important. VIDs are just requests. I think you are fine. Latest issues of 13/14th gen are due to actual Vcore spiking at 1.6v together with high frequency 5.7~6.0GHz and maximum temperature 95-100C.

    Performance limit thermal HOTSPOT yes

    I think its the default behavior of nVidia cards, it doesnt mean that it throttles. Just that further boosting is stopped by thermal limit. If you somehow cool the card better or ambient temp gets lower, it will do the same eventually on power limit before it reaches thermal.

    Are most of these values supposed to be highlighted? idk what these colors mean and google isnt helping

    And if you enable tooltips from sensors window settings you can get a description of each sensor.

    Latest BIOS (from board website) and latest chipset drivers (from AMD website)...? How long do you have the system and how long do you have issues with games?

    IMPORTANT Explaining the AMD Ryzen "Power Reporting Deviation" -metric in HWiNFO

    Power Reporting Deviation does not mean anything unless the CPU is on 100% load like multi core workloads. During normal every day use it can take almost any value, but its useless and does not indicate anything. Here is mine with normal use... Your instability issues can be caused by many...

    IMPORTANT Explaining the AMD Ryzen "Power Reporting Deviation" -metric in HWiNFO

    Yeah, looks ok now! Should have asked you about the stick placement on the board. Its another common mistake. A simple rule for 2 stick configurations that I take it for granted sometimes. Anyway.. Enjoy Out of curiosity... is PRD still the same under CB R23 load?

    IMPORTANT Explaining the AMD Ryzen "Power Reporting Deviation" -metric in HWiNFO

    By enabling DOCP the system needs to restart successfully to take effect. If by hitting "save and exit" from BIOS the PC crushes it may have reverse back to disabled DOCP. If this continues to happen and it cannot boot up properly with DOCP enabled then may there is some kind of incompatibility...
