Getting somewhere with this, I think ....
Well it seems it was what I thought it was ....
What I think is safe has been assessed by:-
a) tech spec of CPU
b) digging around on net
c) info given by another member on another forum

Oh yeah! right down the bottom 😮
LOL , nice of you guys to join me 😄 .
Right what I understand CPU Power Package correlates with TDP monitored value in Intel Extreme Tuning Utility.
Depending upon which test you run ie loading of CPU you will see an estimated reading in HWiNFO, etc.
YES I OC, :D.
This value is from Link:- CPU MSR.
Just like "other" sensor readings that can be slightly or excessively out this can also be, from what I understand at present.
Why I was interested?
A i5 4690K has MAX TDP value of 88W, thus when OC you would be going over but this also depends on VID/VCORE/CLOCK and like I said what app is loading CPU and by how much.
My original i5 4690K @ 4.6GHz CPU (1.27v) 4.1GHz Cache (1.16v) with was hitting 118W peak (IIRC, will check data).
Where as my new i5 4690K CPU 4.8GHz CPU (1.21v) 4.3GHz Cache (1.10v) is hitting 80-88W depending on app/loading.
Now I've seen some members on another forum hitting way higher but for bench runs not 24/7 use.
For example here is screenie of someone's i5 4690K clocked at 4.9GHz 1.257v
He's hitting 138W with IBT.
Another member stated his i7 4790K clocked at 5.0GHz CPU (1.300v) 4.5GHz Cache = 151w with HT off.
A few times I've read posts by Raja@Asus expressing how Prime95 can excessively pull power through CPU, leading to degradation of CPU over time.
You can see when you run say RealBench vs Prime95 the CPU Package Power values differ.
