Its normal.
The power reporting deviation should be taken into account only under full CPU load. Everything else is not important at all.
Go to HWiNFO settings (gear icon downright on sensors window) and enable tooltips. Then hover the pointer over the sensors to read the description.

Okay, thank you very much. I readed that and its says ,,Cpu think it runs at lower power than actually is.''
Btw this result on my image is power reporting deviation on idle, so that is okay ?

Yes, on idle or medium loads PRD doesn’t matter at all. It could be anything from 0% to 600%.
If you want to know if your board lies, provides false feedback to the CPU about its power consumption, and by how much you can run Cinebench R20 multithread and see PRD during that.
