CPU Package (AMD FX-8320/ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R2.0)

Hi, if the CPU Package displays current TDP why does it always read between 35W-45W, even when benchmarking at 4.8GHz? (HWiNFO64 also does this).

 

Thanks.

AIDA64 follows power measurement specifications that AMD provided.  If you believe the power measurement is inaccurate, then you need to ask AMD about it   On our FX processors we can see similarly low wattage values, but higher (more realistic) values on FM2 processors.

OK thanks.

I think they pulled those numbers out of a hat....or maybe that's just measuring 1 core/module lol....  Will let you know if I find out anything
