TechPowerUp GPU-Z v0.7.0 Released
TechPowerUp released the latest version of GPU-Z, the popular graphics subsystem information, diagnostic, and monitoring utility, which gives you in-depth information about installed graphics hardware, and lets you monitor various parameters in real-time. With version v0.7.0 of GPU-Z, we focused on adding and improving support for new GPUs.
To begin with, it features support for AMD Radeon HD 7990 "Malta" dual-GPU graphics card, along with support for Radeon HD 8550M, HD 7340, HD 7290, and HD 8670D "Richland" on the AMD front; and GeForce GTX 680MX, GTX 675MX, GT 218, and 9400 GT (rare GPUs), on the NVIDIA front. Voltage monitoring is improved on Radeon HD 7790.

This is an AMD OpenCl driver bug.
When GPU-Z checks for OpenCl support it initalizes OpenCl, at which point the AMD driver wakes up all GPUs. Once GPU-Z has the info it needs, it shuts down OpenCl, but the AMD driver will not put the GPUs back to sleep.
Install the PhysX driver from the latest WHQL ForceWare: us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/314.22/314.22-desktop-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-english-whql.exe
Best,

EDIT:
I decided to reboot and try it again and it came up with the below picture how ever GPU-Z runs after hitting ok although it don't show OpenCL selected still. And it keeps repeating that cycle.
The false below ambient temps on FX processors are impossible. AMD Tech Support advises that the data from the register is not being processed properly by HW Monitor, Core Temp and AMD Overdrive and that is why these lower than ambient temps are displayed. It would be nice to know the true temps as the misleading temps shown are of no value and just confuse folks who do not understand that there is an issue with the software, not the CPU.

It's a driver problem. newer drivers seem to use modified OpenCL stuff, and there are no longer CAPs in the new system used, too. Trying to go back to an older driver that uses CAPs, after the newer ones that don't use CAPs, causes this problem.
Which means you're stuck on newer betas...
:banghead:
You can try uninstalling OPenCL stuff manually, then re-install older, but this a did not work for me, and I need an OS re-install now.
I don't mind just closing gpu-z and re running it lol. And i am on a fresh install and other wise every thing is working perfectly..
If wizard would like to test that out by all means i willing to but i am not going use drivers that lower the performance of my games just because of GPU-Z..
