Interesting win10/afterburner quirk

[androstan1234]

On my tb250 pro amd 480/570 rig voltage monitoring and control are disabled (0mv and slider greyed out) unless I disable a gpu in windows device manager, close AB, enable the gpu and open AB.

It's nbd since I hardly ever reboot and this takes about 10 seconds to do, but it's odd and I'm curious about what's actually going on.  Maybe someone with greater software expertise has some insight.

I quite understand if I'm understanding your question/statement correctly but have you gone into settings and enabled the volt control?

Yes I've done that.  Voltage control only works if I go to windows device manager and disable a gpu, close afterburner, go back to device manager and re-enable the gpu, then reopen afterburner.  At that point I have full voltage control and monitoring.

Integrated graphics disabled in bios.  Using HDMI dummy plug in the RX480 that is plugged into the x16 slot.

Wipe drivers using DDU and do a full reinstall of Afterburner. You don't really need it, though, just use OverdriveNTool, it is much better.

Thanks, I'll take a look.

I have same issue before when trying to unlock the voltage control in general tab and apply it doesn't work..
But when i was change the skin of my msi burner and unlock the voltage control it works so i think better to try change the skin first of your msi burner and try to unlock the voltage control in general tab..
Just go to in user interface and change the skin and unlock the voltage control and try again..
If not work i think better to use ddu then do clean install and use the latest msi afterburner.

Tried this didn't work.  I've ddu'd a few times.  Tried latest adren driver and blockchain.

Something happens when a gpu gets disabled then enabled in Windows device manager.  Suddenly AB reads voltage and can modify voltage.  If someone understands what happens when the device is disabled then enabled in device manager, could probably figure this out.

GUIDE to enable "voltage control" in MSI Afterburner - it might work.
Did you try the OverdriveNTool?

I tried that guide already.  No haven't tried using overdriven.
