So I was looking at the HWMonitor today and I noticed that the Powers reading under my CPU seemed abnormally low for the Package and Uncore. Here is a screenshot of HW Monitor under load after playing a game:
I was just wondering if it was normal for HWMonitor to report such low wattage for my processor, which is an i7-4770k overclocked @ 4.5 GHz. I have not had any issues with my computer by the way, and in fact I just ran a 2 hour AIDA64 stress test a few weeks ago when I overclocked my CPU with no issues whatsoever. If the CPU was not receiving enough power (especially under load), the computer would power down wouldn't it?
