Question Issue with TDP i5-12400f

[G10RG1]

Hey.
I've recently bought a new i5-12400f. In heavy games in 2K with 120Hz it won't exceed 44 watts or in stress test it mostly shows 36-42 watts of consumption even when stress level is on 100%> temperature is ideal, max 45-50. I've owned other CPUs and never have I seen that it couldn't reach Max tpd. I've looked it up on Intel websites and it showed 65 tpd and 117 turbo max tpd. Otherwise I see no problem and I assume that's better cuz I'll keep a good CPU condition due to low temperature, but I'm afraid to lose my CPU's potential, cuz with current conditions it can't get all the power it needs, it probably exceeded i7-9700 by 15-20% performance wise, been tested on only one game so far.

Are all of your BIOS settings at default?

Or have you changed certain settings since the purchase?

What brand and model PC and motherboard?

What is your cooling setup?

in stress test

What stress test did you run? Have you tried running the Prime95 Small FFTs test?

If your CPU can run at full speed during this test then power consumption is not important. Less power consumption equals less heat. That is a good thing. What speed does CPU-Z report while stress testing with Prime95?

Single stick? That's going to eat your performance quite a bit.

It is temporary
I'm going to add one more.

Yes, but for now you do have lower performance, so assuming your previous 9700 was using dual channel RAM then comparing their performance will not be apples to apples.
And I hope you are aware mixing sticks not from one kit is hit and miss game - it will work or not.

I used AIDA64 extreme
I'm trying now Prime95

As I know, if timing and frequency are matching then there's no problem, but I'm not going to risk it. Thanks for the warning.

Nope, even if timing, frequency, manufacturer, brand and whatnot matches you can still run into problem. Its just that when everything matches you have higher chance for success but it still not 100%.
