9070 XT GPU Maximum Power

[Neptun92ck]

I noticed 622 W gpu maximum power in HWinfo. Is this normal? Should i be worried?

I'm guessing it is probably just an incorrect reading of a transient spike. Personally I wouldn't be too worried about it.

What model 9070 XT? Is it a 2x8pin or 3x8pin version?

It's PowerColor Hellhound 2x8pin.

it is not impossible when it catched a very heavy transient but i am sure that this is not a real readout on a GPU like this since my overclocked 7900XTX barely hits 510W after hours of heavy load.
i'd say it's too new to be properly supported and accurate... your average memory controller utilization is over 3000%

Likely, error or transient spike.

Not sure exactly *how* it would be in error, but other software-read power sensors (historically) are not to be implicitly trusted.

(assuming transient spike) As long as your PSU has the holdup time for it (big wattage and/or newest ATX spec), I wouldn't worry about it.
PCIe 8-pins are rated @ 150Wea, for safety margin. They can safely conduct considerably more power (esp, for <1sec periods).
Only concern I'd personally have, would be making sure the PCIe slot isn't being overdrawn. (Which, I'm not sure there's a sensor for)

I have MSI MPG A850G PSU 850W.

I noticed that too. Though mine was between 500-550. And that was when I increased power limit by +9.

And I was a bit concerned too as the tbp was showing only around 360w. I looked it up and that is suppose to have something to do with transient spikes. So far though no issues. And I only have a 750 watt psu. And I'm with gigabyte aorus with 3x8pins. I'm also only using a 5600x as cpu. Hopefully it's either an error, or not a meaningful spike, or it could pose issues maybe for people with more power hungry parts and lower wattage psu.

That is strange, I have run at 600w using the PSU supplied 2x 8-pin to 16-pin adaptor cable, for over ten minutes while running benchmarks.( So each 8-pin was providing at least 262w.)
I think the best way of saying that would be, "PCie 8-pins were rated for 150w"

Is HWinfo updated? Sometimes new hardware is not read correctly.
