Hello, 
I have assembled a brand new PC half a year ago with the following specs:
cpu - 12700
mobo - B660-A D4
ram - 64GB Fury Beast
ssd - sn850 1TB
psu - RM850x
I have seen several cases where the same CPU is drawing more power than 12700K, over 200W but I cant get mine to go past 150W. Or rather 152W to be precise.
I have connected both cables that supply CPU with power so it shouldnt be limited to bandwidth of one cable.
Stress test I have used to try surpass 150W is Cinebench R23. I know that these non-K processors can be overclocked on certain motherboards but mine doesnt seem to be one of those.

Does anyone have any idea why I cant get it to pull more than 150W?
Thank you.
