Does CPUID HW Monitor not work with Z77 chipsets yet?

Does the latest version (early February 2012) of CPUID HW Monitor not work well with Z77 chipset motherboards? Mind shows weird readings, like 7 something volts for 12 volt output. And the program, on its web site, reads it works with Ivy Bridge but does not state Z77 motherboards whereas the HW Monitor Pro does state Z77 motherboards and it is almost a month newer.

My BIOS shows ~12.2 volts for the 12 volt output and I doubt my system would work if it was 7 volts.

Can any confirm that the latest version (early February 2012) of HW Monitor is not reliable with Z77 motherboards?

Measuring 7V instead of 12V is a mobo sensor reading issue. And got nothing to do with the chipset.

Within the BIOS hardware monitor, it shows ~12.2 something for the 12V. Wouldn't it be the same sensor? I assume the HW Monitor is not compatible with the Z77 readings yet.

HWMonitor works fine with Z77. Just not with your exact model.

There aint any standard for what sensor constains the 12V reading.
