Another version has been rolled out, which aims to fix the issues with the HWMonitor version 1.65.
HWMonitor Receives Another Update Through Version 1.65.1; Removes Second Hotspot Measurement and Shows Stable Hotspot Reading
A few days ago, CPUID rolled out a new version of HWMonitor that added hostpots for the NVIDIA RTX 50 series GeForce cards, which were absent in previous versions. Some people found workarounds through modding to display the disabled readings, but we now have multiple utilities that can do the same job without having to mod the cards.
HWMonitor's new version 1.65 was particularly interesting, since it added "two" hotspots for the RTX 50 GPUs. While one was for the GPU chip, the other was reportedly for the VRM, according to some reports. CPUID has now removed the second hotspot from the interface and kept the primary hotspot for monitoring the GPU temperature.
However, there were reportedly a few issues with this version. As per user reports, the utility showed a lot of fluctuation in GPU hotspot readings and also showed much higher temperatures than it should have. Therefore, CPUID rolled out another HWMonitor update, and HWMonitor v1.65.1 is now available to download from the official website.
According to @unikoshardware, the new version fixes the reported issues, making HWmonitor more reliable. As per his tests, the new version not only reduces the hotspot temperature that matches the readings shown in other popular utilities such as HWinfo and AIDA64, but also reduces the fluctuations significantly. Now the readings are much more stable than before, making HWMonitor v1.65.1 a perfect tool to monitor the hotspot readings.
