Total power draw above 75w overclock

[testeras]

I overclocked rx 550 to

1370/1800 default voltage and custom fan.

Powerlimit is +45 which means total 72.

These are Core,Aux snd Chip power of gpu in image below.(47, 5, 47)

How it is exceeding 72w?

Is combining them 3 total power draw of gpu?

Sometimes its above 100w, will this fry my pcie slot, its not heavy overclock

Wouldn't core and chip power be basically the same? As the GPU die is just the core, it uses GDDR VRAM which is off-die so that wouldn't be included.

Why are they not always same value then, sometimes core is 30, chip 50 etc

Because chip power takes into account additional logic such as on die memory controllers and caches whereas "core power" is just the power that the shaders are consuming, nothing else.

So calculating chip + aux is total power draw?

I've been to chatgpt before this post and asked if combining 3 of those is total power draw and he said yes, its a dumb ai after all

For most cases I'm fairly sure that aux power isn't factored into total power draw.

 

GPU core power is just the GPU cores/shaders, GPU chip is power across the entirely of the chip such as shaders, memory controllers and the caches, GPU board power would then take into account the physical memory modules.

 

You can always experiment with various overclocks and see what rings true though. Although I'm convinced that aux power is it's own separate thing.

So what is power draw then?, this?

HWMonitor isn't the most accurate tool. Use HWINFO instead.
