OK, so here another update:

Now HWiNFO can measure the voltage, current and power of the CPU and SoC rails straight from the VRM via telemetry.

Look for new values under the CPU sensor with (VDDCR_CPU) or (VDDCR_SoC).

Note that (VDDCR_CPU+SOC) is the sum of both CPU and SoC powers and doesn't reflect the total CPU package power as there are some additional rails (like PCI-E Phy, Standby, etc.) which can't be monitored.

The original "CPU Package Power" power probably adds some constant power for those unaccounted rails, so the Sum power might sometimes appear less than "CPU Package Power".

The advantage of these new values is that they should be much more precise than the "CPU Package Power" or ASUS EC "CPU Power" values, which in certain cases provided unrealistic values.

Another important note is that due to certain (yet unresolved) system specifics, these new values should work accurate for some boards, while some others might not (yet) give accurate values. Currently C6H should be OK, probably ASUS PRIME X370 too, ARICA board seems to work well too. I'll work more on this if I get required information how to make this reporting more universal for other boards.

Let me know how it works or if there are any issues.

I actually came across a small big of info regarding this last night, by sheer happenstance...I know that the recent updates to HWiNFO seem to have focused on improving the ASUS and MSI readings (as per the changelogs). However, I don't know what exactly that means forboards such as from Gigabyte or BioStar. I'd suspect that the top models have had focus, as well as possibly the best-sellers. Nevertheless, little has appeared to change in regards to my Titanium, and a few readings leave me wondering why they're like that... Mainly the 'confusing' part for me is the fact of the VRM voltage output and CPU Core Voltage (VDDCR_CPU) align perfectly, or at least within a hundredth of a volt of each other, whereas the Motherboard column's VCore reports the same voltage that CPU-Z does and is waaaay different at idle and reads roughly 0.35-0.45V higher when under load.As an example...IDLE: the VRM would display 1.44V, the VDDCR_CPU would be 1.45Vand Mobo VCore would be 0.468V (it usually jumps around, but .500 ±0.075V).LOAD: VRM = 1.213V, VDDCR_CPU = 1.215V, MB VCore = 1.250VI would expect that the VRM would match up with the MB VCore since that's what I'd expect the PIN'S voltage to be at. Then, the VDDCR_CPU would be the one that's currently listed as Motherboard voltage, since that, when idle, drops to half a volt and thus I'd expect to be what the CPU'svoltage is being configured to.Granted, that wouldn't explain why the VCore reads 1.25V when the VRM is supposedly outputting 1.213V, unless the CPU is using it's internal Voltage Regulators to boost voltage by using some of the Amperage and converting it to the additional ~0.035VGetting back on topic though... by my math, the CPU Package power shouldread higher than the Total (CPU+SoC), based on what he saidassuming we really are figuring that there is some overhead calculated into it. And yet when at high load, as shown, it's waaay lower. I can only imagine that it is implying how muchit is putting out (or at least a rough approximate). The highest I've ever managed to get the Package Power to reach (so far) is running just the AIDA Cache stress test, andit'll hit upwards of 125-130W. I'll have to try and see what it reads for Total in that circumstance, as I don't recall off hand. Theretimes when the Package and Total are nearly identical I've noticed, and it has been when things are loaded in a way to result in around 110W.Who knows, maybe AMD has detailed it in one of their Blog postings and I've just overlooked it heh Don't believe Ryzen Master monitors that sensor though, so outside of technical documents I don't think they'll make mention of it (which I believe are still on a by-request-and-approval only basis), since the average joe won't be looking at it through anything provided by AMD.
