Hello! I built my new gaming PC around May, having switched and replaced every single part of it since then due to technical problems that randomly solved themselves?
Anyways, it´s nothing more than an AMD Ryzen 5 1600, a Gigabyte AX370-Gaming 5, a MSI Radeon RX 480 8GB Armor OC, Corsair Veangeance LPX Red 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) 3000 MHz C15, Team L5 Lite 3D 480 GB SSD and a Corsair CX650M.
The problem is that the PC consumes from 180 to 230 W on IDLE, being it on the desktop 30 minutes after booting or in the UEFI. All of this is measured via a brand new Perel wall power meter, wich is something great I bought for 20 bucks two weeks ago.
Previously, I remember it staying at 90-100 W, but now its more than double.
I have tried changing everything in the UEFI or in Windows to no avail.
Afterburner shows the CPU consuming 20 W and the GPU consuming another 20 W, totalling around 50 W total for them both. Do the other parts really consume 150 W? That'd be extremely odd and it's problably not the PSU, as it only started today and the PSU is only 2 years old.
If asked, I can test it with my RM1000i I have sitting at home from a RMA due to the reason in the first sentence, but I'm not keen on opening it as it'd lose sale value and I already lost too much on replacements.
This is a really strange problem, just like the ones I already had on this, my first ever personal gaming PC, wich has been nothing but frustration.
I really hope someone can help me out. Thanks!
