Does running GPU-Z and MSI Afterburner concurrently cause problems?

Someone on another forum said there was a KNOWN issue with the two, but I cannot seem to find a reference to it.

Perhaps someone knows something?

Thanks

I have never once had an issue running Afterburner, which runs all the time, and GPU-Z.

Click to expand...

I have never had problems with both applications running simultaneously either, but then I am not always upon the latest news and thought I would ask.

I believe the person is talking out the wrong orifice.

I am not sure which is at fault, but running afterburner and gpu-z with voltage monitoring enabled in BOTH will cause certain 5000 series ATI cards to bump to their highest programmable voltage - 1.65 on the 5870. This also happens with Everest/Aida64 1.20/1.50 and gpu-z both running at the same time. I have experienced this myself and have read of others warning of it on guru3d. I would think this is more the fault of the card, but still 1.65 is not a voltage you want your card running at.

On quick search here are some other post referencing it:
