z270m Pro4 - A-tuning missing!

One thing to note is that launching A-tuning while hwinfo is running disables hwinfo's ability to read fan speeds

The voltages being wrong does not surprise me. You can try to correct the voltages with the Config option, Custom tab of the Sensors Status display.

Highlight a value in the Config window like Vcore, and at the bottom left you can modify the value by multiplying it by a factor, or adding a fixed value. Say you know a voltage is 1.0V, but it is shown as 2.0V. Set the Multiply value to 0.5 and click on Set.

The loss of fan speeds in any utility when another is running is caused by an internal special setting that allows the sharing of data between programs. Usually that is more of an issue with CPU related data, but there must be one for the fan speed data. It may be HWiNFO64 does not have a bit set somewhere for the new sensor chip used on this board. You could post in the HWiNFO forum about this, tell him the mother board and sensor chip model number, and he'll work on it if possible.

Has anyone found an alternative that will provide a graph over time?  I've tried the latest versions of the following apps: Speedfan - can't detect memory information, and has incorrect labels for fans (I've sent the dev a report) CPUID hwmonitor - can't detect fans and doesn't have graphing capability AIDA64 - can't detect fans and doesn't have graphing capability While OCCT provides graphs, it doesn't include fan information.

The A-tuning app is out finally :) Works fine!

Interesting, my theory about the sensor chip (Nuvoton NCT6683D-T)  must be correct. I have not seen that sensor chip model used anywhere by ASRock in the past.

This is an unusual situation, I can't think of this happening with any other ASRock board. The HWiNFO programmer normally adds support for various sensor chips. You could post about this in his forum.

This would also explain the missing ASRock monitoring utility. If you run APP Shop, you don't see any monitoring program listed? APP Shop only includes the programs applicable to the board in the PC, so we cannot see what is listed if we don't have a specific board.

For some reasons H270M Pro4 and Z270M Pro4 boards are missing a vital functionality - readable sensors data (from Nuvoton NCT6683D-T) - via aida64, hwmonitor and etc. Also there's no A-tuning app - neither on disk, nor in the respective download section on website. Can someone clarify when monitoring will be available? Thanks

I highly doubt sensor data is "missing" from the boards you listed. While more budget oriented boards like those you listed may not have as extensive sensor data readings as more expensive boards do, your claim that the data is missing needs to be examined more closely.

But before I do that, about the missing A-Tuning program, have you installed your board's APP Shop program, and looked for the equivalent utility there? It's possible that it is there now, but simply not yet included on the download pages.

It looks like the Nuvoton chip the boards you listed are using are different than other ASRock boards, and seemingly new models. That might explain why AIDA64 and HWMonitor are apparently not reading the sensor data (I cannot verify that since I don't own the boards you listed. My Z270 GK6 board has 95% of the sensor readings I get from a high end board like the Z170 Extreme7+.)

While there is some PC hardware data that can be easily retrieved, monitoring programs must be specifically programmed to read sensor data. Even new processor and chipset generations can require programming changes to read data items. The Intel Haswell series of processors is a perfect example of that, with their internal (to the processor) VCore voltage regulators. Also, most monitoring programs simply read the processor VIDs and label it VCore, the two being related but certainly not the same thing.

If any monitoring program is up to date with reading sensor data, it will be HWiNFO64:
