I've been just build my new PC based on Ryzen platform. Here's the specs:
Mainboard: Asrock X370 Gaming X But when I open AIDA64, it shows the 5V+ and 12V+ which is overcurrent as picture below (5.6 & 14Volt). I'm so scared. Please help me. sorry for my bad english |

5V (max 5.25V) and 12V (max 12.6V) voltages are out of ATX spec, RMA your PSU and buy something like: Corsair RMx Series RM650x EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2(G3) 650W |

" rel="nofollow - Are you using an aup to date version of AIDA64 ? Maybe check in another tool like Hwmonitor (http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html). If it shows the same in hwmonitor and latest version of AIDA you should really get your PSU replaced.
Corsair and EVGA are a good choice, i would add beQuiet. But 650W is WAY too much for this system. Even 400W would be more than enough for the components in this system, but I would recommend getting a 500-550W in case you want to get a bigger graphics card or upgrade the CPU one day. EVGA SuperNOVA G3 550W <-Top Quality, my personal recommendation Corsair RMx Series RM550x 550W <-also very good choice, top warranty beQuit! Pure Power 10-CM 500W <-top bugdet PSU beQuit! Pure Power 10 500W <-same but cheaper, if you dont care for cable management ------------- ASRock X370 Taichi, AMD Ryzen 7 1700X @ 3,9 , Noctua NH-D15 2x16GB G.Skill F4-3200C14D-32GTZ @3200 14-13-13-26-42 1T GearDown Enabled MSI Geforce GTX 1070 GAMING X 8G |

Yeah I'd do what BoneCrusher suggested.. Make sure your aida64 is up to date.. Otherwise it looks like your PSU is seriously running out of atx spec. Another great option for PSU if they're available in your country, is the Seasonic X650 series, or Focus Plus ssr-650fx series, both are 80+Gold Cert. ------------- https://valid.x86.fr/r12tls" rel="nofollow">

Hi there, replaced by a Seasonic 520W and nothing's change. AIDA64 is up-to-dated :( |

Minh Khang, I have the latest AIDA64 Beta, v5.92.4321. Please click Help/Check for Updates and DL the Beta. If you still see these strange numbers, then click on Report/Submit Report to FinalWire. I suspect you are seeing problems in AIDA64 as I did when my Ryzen/M-Board were new. Please let us know what you learn. Thanks and enjoy, John. ------------- Fat1 X399 Pro Gaming, TR 1950X, RAID0 3xSamsung SSD 960 EVO, G.SKILL FlareX F4-3200C14Q-32GFX, Win 10 x64 Pro, Enermx Platimax 850, Enermx Liqtech TR4 CPU Cooler, Radeon RX580, BIOS 2.00, 2xHDDs WD |

" rel="nofollow - Actually, what BIOS version are you running on your board? Is it the most recent, or is it the one that came with it? CPU-Z screenshot is showing 1.00, so that may also be an issue. ------------- https://valid.x86.fr/r12tls" rel="nofollow">

I goes to the HWMonitor section but it seems to be there's no voltages displayed but into the UEFI user interface i can't find them anywhere |

Right now, I'm thinking it's an issue with the sensor readings from the default bios that your board is using, not translating well to AIDA64's reading code. If your motherboard currently has the option to flash the bios from within the bios usually called instant flash, then I'd suggest downloading and updating to the most recent bios for your motherboard, which is version 3.00. If your bios doesn't have the option to instant flash from the bios, you'll have to use the DOS bios flash method to upgrade to version 1.10 and then upgrade to 3.00 from within that bios version. If that doesn't fix the bad power readings, it could be possible you have a bad motherboard, but it's really hard to say at this point. ------------- https://valid.x86.fr/r12tls" rel="nofollow">

updated to BIOS 3.00, tried another Gaming X mobo from my neighbour friend and the current is still over. |

Download and install F-Stream: http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/Fatal1ty%20X370%20Gaming%20X/index.us.asp#osW1064" rel="nofollow - http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/Fatal1ty%20X370%20Gaming%20X/index.us.asp#osW1064 Check the readings under "System Info". I suspect the sensor is not being read correctly by HWMonitor. If the readings are the same (14v on the 12v) post back. -------------

Sorry, I must have missed it if you mentioned it before. If that is the case then it is being misread on your monitoring app. You can try checking with other monitoring apps but the ASRock one should be 100% accurate. They designed the board and code the monitor for the exact sensor and design used. 3rd party apps don't have access to the designs and sensor types. If the design is different to the Gaming K4 (the board the Gaming X is largely derived from) then that could explain the misreading. It can be scary but typically, with that kind of over volting on your 12v rail you would be seeing some seriously high temps on your CPU and VRMs. For what it's worth HWMonitor was reading my Vcore as 5.23v on the version that was available when I got my X370 Taichi. The next version read my Vcore as 0.9v... Neither are correct. These things can happen with new board models. It can take a while for 3rd party monitoring apps to be properly updated. The fact that you have tried more than one PSU tells me this is an error in the reading of the sensor. The PSU provides 12v within a 5% tolerance. 11.4 - 12.6 is the spec, anything outside of that is out of spec and indicates a bad PSU, you also don't want to see rapid fluctuation witin the tolerance. One bad PSU is possible but I find it hard to believe you got more than one, especially the Seasonic unit. Bare in mind that some magic would have to happen for the board to turn a 12v input into 14v. Honestly, I don't think you have anything to worry about, especially if your temps not off the chart. -------------

i am pretty sure teh voltages can be found in the "HW Monitor" tab in UEFI. Have you scrolled up and down (with mouse or Up/Down arrow keys) ? @Xaltar as far as is read here Minh only used AIDA64 to check the voltages until you reocmmended FStream (plz correct me if im wrong Minh Khang). When he talked about HWMonitor the "HW Monitor" tab in UEFI was meant ;) So i guess the problem is with AIDA64 reading wrong temps, FStream will certainly show the correct voltages. Minh Khang, if you have not done yet, i would recommmend downloading "HWinfo" or "HWMonitor" and check there if you want certainty. ------------- ASRock X370 Taichi, AMD Ryzen 7 1700X @ 3,9 , Noctua NH-D15 2x16GB G.Skill F4-3200C14D-32GTZ @3200 14-13-13-26-42 1T GearDown Enabled MSI Geforce GTX 1070 GAMING X 8G |

I am afraid I couldn't say, I don't have the details. I do know that the VRM section (power delivery) uses different components. That is the reason I suspect you are getting inaccurate readings from Aida64. From a visual inspection the boards look almost identical. I do know they offer almost identical features. -------------
