[SOLVED] Power Reporting Deviation (from news )

[AdrianVaughan]

So i have a GIGABYTE X570 AORUS PRO (AMD X570) with a 3700x while idle i have a Power Reporting Deviation of between 250% to 290% when i run Cinebench R20 its drops to 90% what does this mean ?

If someone could enlighten me

Thanks

I'm pretty sure the numbers at idle don't matter but at full load, you should be pretty close to 100%. That means the Mobo isn't cheating. Mine is.

I have Asus Prime X470-Pro and Ryzen 1700. Under full load, Hwinfo reported 48-49% deviation.
First I had to remove my overclock before HWinfo even showed the deviation parameter.
Testing right now (with OC), idle vs full load was according to Hwinfo a difference of 100 watts. But my power meter showed a difference of 130 watts.

"Note that this value has a useful meaning only under full CPU load and values around 100% (95 - 105 %) mean the telemetry is working correctly. "
