TheSho21 Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Hi all, I have a 13900k on a Maximus Z790 Hero. I have the sensor panel monitoring CPU wattage and have noticed during idle or just while browsing the internet, the wattage slowly climbs from ~30, then to 60, then to 100, etc... finally maxes out around ~330-340 then drops back down again to ~30 (GIF attached). The utilization stays steady at 1% and the temperature does not fluctuate much either. I used HWMonitor and on there it never goes above ~60. It's almost as if it's accumulating the wattage lol. Guessing this is not normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSho21 Posted June 22, 2023 Author Share Posted June 22, 2023 So changed the value to "CPU Package" and that is working ok. Still not sure what the point of "CPU" is tho lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While monitoring CPU wattage using a sensor panel, I observed a gradual increase from around 30 to 330-340 before dropping back down to 30, despite low utilization and stable temperatures. HWMonitor reports wattage below 60. Could you kindly explain this anomaly? Thank you for your assistance. Are you selecting "CPU" or "CPU Package"?
