Posted July 16, 2021 Hey everyone, the last few weeks I’ve had some frame drop issues on my pc. I’m not going to get into it, but I’m not sure if the following wattage for my ryzen 5 3600 are too low. When I’m playing for example, Fortnite. My CPU is only consuming about 28W of power, is that normal? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted July 16, 2021 A 3600 should cap out at 65w, but with PBO I can get it up to about 100w. 28w is very low for a 3600. Check your power settings in Windows to make sure you are not on power saver mode. (Right click Windows or Win+X, then Power Options) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 16, 2021 Shouldn't go above 65w. If you are GPU bottlenecked it won't use the CPU as much and thus making it use less power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted July 16, 2021 Full load was something around 80 Watt. But thats every core at 100% so you'll need to check what the CPU usage is in Fornite, but 28 Watt seems normal. But without GPU and CPU load during that ussage we cant give a good answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
