Hello all, i have an amd fx 8320 on a msi 970a g46 and i was a little curious about my CPU's watt usage, i logged it in CPUID HWmonitor and during games where my cpu got up to 90% usage my max wattage only went u p to 56 watts, now is this underpowering my cpu or is it not a problem. i have a 750 watt psu and an r9 280 so im not even close to my power limit.

As you can see, a FX 8320 under full load pulls up to 200W... Try running something like Prime95 and see what happens with the power draw. Also, what PSU do you have? You can have a 1000W PSU, if it isn't a quality brand, there's no point.
Don't run Prime95 too long though, your board doesn't seem to have amazing VRM Cooling, so watch out for that. Which might be a problem if it starts thermal throttling.
