Question regarding voltage drops on PCIe Slot

[Bafford]

Hi everyone!

I am a bit concerned about the readings of PCIe Slot voltages during full load of my GPU. Can someone please take a look at my readings from HWiNFO and GPU-Z? The first screenshot shows GPU readings from HWiNFO and GPU-Z - and second one shows Motherboard side of things. I am confused whether the 11.6 V reading from GPU or 11.736 V from motherboard is more accurate. I'll only add that so far I don't seem to have any problems. My questions are: Are these drops acceptable - and if they are, can they damage something in the long run?

PS. Ignore my native language on HWiNFO

My specs are:

Motherboard: Gigabyte B85+HD3 Rev 2.0
PSU: Corsair TX650M
RAM: 16 GB
CPU: Intel i7 4790
GPU: Gigabyte RTX 3060 Windforce OC 12 GB
OS: Windows 10 Pro 64bit

GPUZ is more accurate. I've done probing with multimeter and was spot on.

Under 12V would concern me a little, except for the fact that the PCIe slot doesn't contribute much to the GPU. And your 8-pin power to the GPU looks good at 12.1V, so I wouldn't worry about it.

11.6 is low. It will probably crash if you a full load like furmark.

Edit: nvm. That's PCIe slot voltage. If the 8pin dropped that low I would be concerned.

Thanks for the replies! I feel somewhat relieved now, knowing that PCIe slot voltage isn't as important as 8pin one.
