That would mean default power consumption means almost nothing.
You'd have to go through everyones boards to see what the manufacturer implemented and for competitive reasons the high end boards will be chucking the power limits out the window for the extra edge.
Not something I considered due to few sources (two I found) which mention PSO settings and the power draw of the CPU.
The lack of information makes it appear that PSO being on or off is the reason for exceeding TDP.
So you would suggest that Gigabyte is enforcing the 105W TDP with their BIOS...
I see.
But on a different board you would not have the same default settings (as the gigabyte video shows it has to be specially enabled). So the motherboard manufacturer is dictating what these CPUs are doing at "stock".
Also could you say why the tomshardware power draw stopped exactly at...
Hello @The Stilt
I was looking at the power consumption section and found the highlighted lines odd.
Your claim is that the 2700X is consuming 140W at stock when it is advertised at 105W.
I noted that you have PSO enabled which lets the CPU run out of spec and above normal TDP.
Over on...
