Does anyone else have incorrect VCORE readings? No matter what I set in the bios, CPU-Z and HWMonitor report the vcore around 0.5V even under full load which is not possible. I'm not comfortable overclocking if I can't read the voltages in real time...and I bought this board for its overclocking features! Images below

Edit: I did some searching and found another thread about this. Has there been a way to fix it?

    Only E-LEET will work. Even Aida64 doesn't read it right, which is annoying and stupid.

    Thanks I'll try that out tomorrow. As long as I can use something to monitor the voltages I'll be happy.

    I can vouch for this as well, it was not until I got ELeet working was I able to get accurate readings, HW64monitor and CPUz were both indicating incorrect readings.

    I cant get any vcore readings from cpuz/hwmonitor/coretemp or eleet.  (downloaded the latest versions of them all). 
     
    what is the deal evga?   I just swapped motherboards from an asus one to yours to see if I could get my 7700k up to 5.2ghz with better stability, but I cant monitor any voltages? in windows?  (I can boot just fine with 1.38vcore in the bios, but i'm getting temps way above that voltage when running benchmarks, like the motherboard is boosting this to well over 1.44vcore and I can't see it).
     
    I'm using the z270 FTW k... just bought it 2 hours ago.  haven't been able to read the vcore since 1st boot in windows.

    -Asus P6T Intel x58 Chipset

    Just a heads up, you posted in the Z170 forums. You might have better luck in the Z270 forums. I have the Z170, so I (and many others who might read this) won't be much help.

    only eleet and SIV have given me correct readings. This seems to have been a issue for the z170 and z270. Not sure others cant get correct readings

    Monitoring voltages in real time with software? lol. You do know software readings can be/are most of the time inaccurate? If you want to monitor voltage in real time it's best to do it with a multimeter.

    While that is true Sajin my old z97 motherboard read the voltage just fine and now z170 cannot? What went wrong with EVGA?

    Nothing. The software taking the readings most likely just need to be updated to work correctly with evga's z170.
