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.

You are in the thread that explains what is happening. If you start reading from page 1. Long story short, it’s a bug in BIOS.

Below is your screenshot with some highlights of all the buggy values your CPU reports. They are exactly x2 of what they should be. So yeah its not of a concern other than why AMD didnt fix this bug yet.

Personally I would be ok with the result. Seems like the CPU is working within its normal conditions. If you're happy with the results of frequency and temperature then go ahead and leave it that way. Have you test it under gaming or any other tasks you usually run? ...other than banchmarks I mean.

First of all let me try to explain why this (high PowerReportingDev) is happening. In a pefrect world, boards should read what the CPU power current (EDC) is at any time and report it back to CPU as feedback so the CPU can regulate itself properly. For a reason unknown to me, some boards are not...

Do you see the "CPU PPT" value? 76W is the normal nonPBO power budget for 5600/5600X But... Since your PowerReportingDeviation is at 128% means that the true power consumption of the CPU is: 76 / 1.28 = 59.3W So the board for some reason under-runs the CPU at max load on this specific benchmark...

Read second part (perf #n/n) In the simplest words the first number is the the order that windows scheduler will/should load the cores depending on the amount of the workload and the second is the evaluation of AMD on the cores based mostly on the highest clock ability and other...

Yeah that is the only way I see it for the 13900k to hit 370W... with a custom loop and not some half tower simple air cooler.

First of all I do not own an Intel system. To you question about default freq of 13900K in multi... at auto boost P-cores peak at 5.5GHz and E-cores at 4.3GHz. But that does not mean that these clocks can be sustained over time under continued long boost, especially with air coolers. Below...

No one really can confirm anything but making assumptions unless witnessing the actual BIOS/UEFI settings. Personally I too find it odd that such a relatively small cooler can remove 370W of power/heat and CPU stays under 100C. Unless this system is placed in a very very low ambient temp...

If you mean the entire CPU package then all CPUs have multiple rails. 1 for cores, 1 for SoC and probably 1-2 more for other stuff. In order to calculate power (Watt) you need voltage (V) times (x) current (A). So you need to know each rail's voltage and current at any given moment and then you...

This guy done anything to it? It also runs higher wattage (60W PPT) and +20~25C higher than yours. I bet its louder too. +0.05V for +150MHz and a lot hotter, I dont think its worth it. It may have the same components but as a 16" it may have also slightly bigger cooling solution, though the...

Did you ever contacted vendor customer support? I think you should do that before anything. At least if they can give you info about it, or the CPU specific limits on this particular laptop. Are there any documents that came with it that may say such info? The aspect that I didnt think of...
