You had bet you would be over 125W TDP, I thought you would not be at the clocks listed in your sig. I ended up being correct. BARELY!
No no no... lol, even at stock its probably using about 160w of power, i don't know what it actually is, i could Google i guess, but i'm pretty sure its around there.
I will try to put it another way, the 1075t / 1090t / 1100t - FX-8120 / FX-8150 all have a 125w TDP, those Thuban and BD's are all identical CPU's, they simply have different (stock) clock settings (as set by AMD in the factory) the lower clocked ones draw less power than the higher clocked ones, again with identical TDP numbers stamped on the box.
TDP is simply a base number, the actual power draw depends on what variant of the CPU you have, in the same way my 1090t will draw the same power as a 1100t if i clock it to the same clocks (3.3Ghz)
Add to that the stock LLC causes the vCore to fluctuate all over the place...
Its a bit like "this is a 125w CPU,- BUT.....Not really!
Any CPU can have this and that writen here and there, doesent mean thats what its pulling out of your PSU.
That's what i'm driving at.
