ASUS Rog X Hero 8700k CPU wattage hike

[5308771]

Hi,

I have a wired problem for my rig since very long time ago.

The CPU power in AI Suite sometimes jump to 900w or 500w during idle.

The below image showed cpu power jump to 320w during idle or just web browing.

I don't know if this is normal as i only slighlty OCed.

Thanks for help

That's showing 32.1 Watts, not 321 Watts.

Thanks for your reply Raja.

It's little bit hard to capture the sreenshot. but atke a look at CPU Frequency block (left bottom). It shows 321w.

I do get inconsistent wattage.

See another one

Just looks like a misread to me. Possibly because there is other monitoring software being run on the system.

Hi Raja, I don't have any other monitoring software installed on my pc.

I have this problem for quite long time.

Id make sure you're on the latest version of Ai Suite. Either way, I'd ignore it. It's not the actual consumption.

I am using Version 1.05.14 and it's the latest.

Any other ways to see the actual wattage ?

plenty of third party tools out there that track wattage. Aida64 and HWinfo show this data.
