5.3.11 is making my WMI Provider Host service eat up anywhere from 6-10% CPU on Windows 10 64-bit. Completely reproducable. If I shutdown Precision X WMI stops eating CPU and my CPU can throttle down fully.

I have the same problem in W8.1 64-bit. "WMI Provider Host" is always eating up 3-4% CPU. When I shut down EVGA PrecisionX, it goes back to 0%. How do I fix that?

I too am having the same issue with the WMI Provider Host eating up resources (Around 3-4% as well) I have 2 GTX 970 FTW+ in SLI on an ASUS Z97A 32gb RAM and running Win10 64bit (all updated. I would like to get this fixed because when I turn off Precision X my PCH Sensor rises to 58C and when I turn it on my PCH drops to about 50C idle but keeps ramping my CPU - before update everything ran much cooler.

I'm having the same problem with the WMI Provider Host and ended up at this thread. The problem is that for whatever reasons it's causing the WMI Provider Host to create tzres.dll and over again. EVGA devs should be able to figure this out pretty quick. I don't have a solution other than going back to a previous version. 
 

 
Edit: Confirming that 5.3.10 is unaffected by this bug. 
 
 It's available on the evga precision download page (can't link it, forum removes it). But it's on their main site /precision if you want the url. If you're worried about losing features or introducing bugs. Here are the bug fixes from 5.3.10 to 5.3.11:

• Adds OSD support for DX12 Mode in Rise of the Tomb Raider
• Fix OSD On/Off error when changing GPU
• Fix software fan control in SLI mode
• Confirm Apply changes when changing GPU
• Update OSD exclude list

If these things do not affect you, I would revert.
 
Edit 2: Wow, EVGA your forum filters are crazy! I can't even say system 32 in one contiguous word without getting an error! Anyway, tzres.dll is related to time zones, and the mui file is for the language resources, just in case anyone is wondering. It should exist by default in your windows\system 32 directory (no space)

Cheers, reverting worked, hopefully they can release a fix soon.

If that was really the case, you'd think they'd fix the profile saving bug. They should feel really silly at this point. I went back to Afterburner some time ago. No need to screw around with this crap.

so the only way to get this is through steam ?   that's a shame    mirror 1 seems broken sure don't want a steam client on my drives 
is there some reason evga don't serve there own software ??

No idea what would make you think Precision is Steam only.

And profile saving is fixed.

what I get every try ??   ''Authenticate at remote partner site failed ''  ........... so is it like a after 30 days thing ??    I sure have  had some strange things here this week   had to register my card 3 times  just to get  on the     Precision  site to even try to get to down load  ?? [first reg was about a week ago]    i'll get over it  and keep afterburner     if its working foe everyone else i'll scratch my head on it some more  way just be a holiday week thing  ??
 
thanks 

What is CPU Temperature, CPU Temperature-1 and CPU Temperature-2?
CPU Temperature is probably CPU Package, CPU 1 probably Core and what is CPU 2?
Software EVGA Precision X 5.3.11. I ask because OSD. I want to know where to look and what is most important of these three readings.

Anyone else getting update notifications for X16 letting you know there's a new version of XOC?  I did today, and what's even stranger, I have update checks turned off.  
 
EDIT: Manual "check now" also has the same results:

Same

Same

This is still affecting PXOC. To the point where it blatantly reduces 3DMark scores, as well as keeps my CPU near it's max clock speed instead of allowing for low activity throttling.
