You need a meter like a killawatt meter. A normal i5-7500 pc will draw about 30w under that load.When I run the XTU stress test, I see the Package TDP going up to 120 watts. Is this the same as actual output? I've seen the same problem happen with the current 10th gen Intel CPU's as well. Its frustrating and even spoke with Intel regarding this; they keep sending me back to the motherboard manufacturer. There's even a video by Gamer's Nexus regarding current 10th gen Intel CPU's with higher than normal thermal performance. Could be that with these third party board manufacturers this has been plaguing Intel for years as I see this happening with my 7th gen Intel CPU. I know that most BI setups I come across are using OEM hardware (from Dell, IBM, HP, etc). I don't know if the problem is related to doing custom builds. However, I am interested in other user's specifications![]()
