Ah! At first I tought you had the ASRock B550. Interesting, the Gigabyte X570 is #1 on my list ATM. I want to get a Zen 3 processor so I'm waiting a bit to order the mobo.Quoting from the original HWinfo post I linked earlier:My guess is that the formula HWinfo uses for Power Reporting Deviation is something like (PPT reported by motherboard)/(expected PPT for processor model when computational load generates max power usage). PPT (Package Power Tracking) is the "allowed socket power consumption", ie. total CPU power consumption. FYI, the 3600 is a 65W TDP part, which has "at least 88W" PPT limit. I don't know if HWinfo has a table of more specific PPT per CPU SKU. Anyways, all that to say that if you consider the average Power Reporting Deviation while you have variable load like gaming, some of which is most likely under the max possible load, the value will be < 100% even if the motherboard correctly reports power consumption. So if you have the time for more measurements, do a run of Cinebench like the quote above suggests and look at the Power Reporting Deviation during that time only.
