Asked by

I just built my own PC, but I'm noticing that both my CPU and GPU power consumption are somehow capped at around 20 watts. I need some guidance on this!

What model is your power supply? Sometimes, the PSU might not provide enough power if it's an entry-level version. It's worth checking.

Are you using a specific program to measure power usage? Itโs also important to check if your monitor is connected to the GPU instead of the motherboard, as that can affect how power is reported.
