Intel Xeon W3520 and the Package Power

[Petr Soucek]

Hello Fiery,

on my system with Intel Xeon W3520 AIDA64 shows no CPU power on the sensors page, but CPUID Hardware Monitor 1.21 shows the Package Power. The value looks very strange, it is just 43,76 W in idle and 147,34 W during any load. Do you know, does contain this CPU the possibility to read the power or not?

Regards,

Petr

As far as we know, CPU package power can only be measured on Sandy Bridge and newer Intel Core processors. On your Nehalem-class CPU the reading is not available.
