Can we see a whole window of HWiNFO sensors please? That 7% seems a little weird.

AMD reference 5700 nonXT has an official total power of 180W. Boost clock (GPU) up to 1725MHz. I expect maybe some AIB cards to go as far as ~200W. That 180W is for the entire card. So GPU power alone (excluding, memory, fans, etc..) sould be less than 180W. "GPU PPT Limit" is referring to GPU...

You have a lot more double values than that 150C temp. I can identify at least 9 more

Usually board vendors want to show to the market (consumers) that their board can run the CPU to the highest performance possible, as being the best on the market. At least this is what’s happening with intel platform(s). I seriously doubt that that’s the case with Ryzen CPUs. After all the...

Please read post #560

I can understand the confusion On the contrary to what logic suggests, those tasks because they are low in intensity allow the CPU to clock (burst) higher with high voltage. The boost algorithm has a “simple” task. Maintain high clock and voltage on small loads, and drop both progressively when...

Ok the useful one is during. I will assume that CPU PPT and PRD were stable while the benchmark was running, at least within a small margin like 2-3%. The R5 5600X has a PPT (PowerPackageTracking) value from AMD the 76W which is the default max power consumption for the entire CPU package. The...

When CB is running you just observe the current value. It’s shouldnt fluctuate a lot, maybe a few %. You can also hit the clock button down on right to reset all values, after test starts.

1. Run a cinebench multicore test 2. While test is running take notes about the PowerReportingDeviation and CPU PPT values. 3. Post here and I will explain what is the meaning.

I’m pretty confident that the highest temp is always the controller of the driver.

I don’t think there is something there to be worried about Ryzens, depending on the model, typically have operating temp limits to 90-95C. So it’s not rare (or abnormal) to see occasional spikes to 80+C. Especially on laptops where cooling is harder.

It’s very simple. As the sensor description indicates this has a meaning while CPU is ONLY under 100% load. Any other time, like gaming, is literally useless. So unless you got any red under 100% CPU load there is nothing to be worry about.

You have to account power reporting deviation only during 100% CPU load. In any other situation it has no value/meaning, as its description says.

To be precise it’s the CPU that reports double values to HWiNFO, and most likely the CPU SMU is causing this bug.

What @Martin is saying is that you can check all CPU temp readings in HWiNFO and see if any of them matches the AB reading. Try in the “CPU enhanced” section of the sensors window.
