FAQ
1. HWMonitor reports a CPU activity above 100%.
Since its version 1.53, HWMonitor reports a processor activity that can exceed 100% in some cases. From this version, HWMonitor computes the CPU usage
with the utility counters instead of the time counters, so doing the reported value matches the value in Windows task manager. However, whereas the
task manager caps the maximum value to 100%, HWMonitor doesn't and can possibly report a value above 100%, in order to reflect clock increase mechanism
such as turbo modes.
You can find more information and explanations on the dedicated
Microsoft troubleshoot page.
2. Some cores show a * in the clock section.
The * is used to identify the fastest cores of the processor, when they exist. These cores can usually run at a slightly higher clock speed
in comparison to the other cores.
3. The PCIe PEX errors counter of my NVIDIA graphics card is not 0 and increases constantly.
The PEX error counter counts the transfers from L0 to Recovery. It triggers for example during a change in speed, in width, and several
other possible reasons that do not (always) mean that a PCIe error occured.
On the contrary, the other counters must stay at 0, if they don't this means that there is truly a PCIe error (in a lot of case, this can mean
an incompatibility between the mainboard and the graphics card).
