Ryzen 5 4600G Incorrect Power Reading (from IGPU) #182

Closed AlexKusnezov closed 1 month ago

AlexKusnezov commented 1 month ago

Amd Power Gadget would always reports only about 5-7w on any load whether it's Cinebench or just idling.

Since I'm also using NootedRed to get the IGPU I tried to load it with a benchmark and the power reading started increasing to about 14-18w. So I'm thinking it the IGPU power, which the AMD Power Gadget is reporting.

Any ideas?

I believe it's reporting the SoC (package) power, which in your case GPU is part of the package.

yeah, but where's the cpu part, when it's under load it still reads only 7w. The TDP is 65w though

That's interest, I may have read your original post wrong. If that's the case then the 7w may be the actual cpu power? Now that I think it would make more sense if the package power in APU only reads cpu power. Is your goal to read the whole SoC power?

not nessacary, CPU power would be totally enough, CPU, GPU, SOC - all seprate would be nice to have ;)
