Hi,

For my setup see my system specs.

As you can see the PSU of my system is an Asus Thor II. This PSU has a screen which shows the current powerdraw of the system.
My system also has 2 GPU's, a 4090FE and the internal GPU of the 7800X3D. The (single) monitor is connected to the 4090.
When both are "active" (iGPU not disabled in bios) the power draw of the system is about 110-115 W in idle.
GPU-Z shows that the AMD iGPU draws about 37 W. This seems high for a GPU that does nothing and is a significant portion of the 110-115 W.

I would expect that when the iGPU is disabled in bios the total power draw of the system would decrease. Maybe not the full 37 W or so but still a good portion of that.
Unfortunately it doesn't. After disabling the iGPU in bios the total power draw stays the same at about 110-115 W.
Can anybody explain this? Is GPU-Z wrong or is something else going on.

It is lying to you. There is just 37W going through the CPU. The load is 0%. After all, the GPU IS the CPU.

GPU-Z is showing the CPU Package Power there.

100% on both previous responses. I use an AMD MiniPC and total CPU+iGPU power is listed in the GPU Power Draw section in GPU-Z. The CPU and iGPU power metrics are not separable.
