Board Power Draw < GPU Chip Power Draw

[MRisberg]

My GPU-Z 2.52.0 shows more power draw by the chip itself than the entire board.
MSI 1080 Ti, Asus Z790, i5-13600.

That is: Board Power Draw < GPU Chip Power Draw. Should be the other way around. Or am I misunderstanding?

I also tested 2.51.0 and 2.44.0.

Searching online, couldn't find anything other than this old post regarding this issue, which doesn't have any resolution. I have the same issue, just recently bought a 1080TI MSI Trio (and a RTX 2080TI) for two older machines and the 1080TI reports the same as you did. I also had an issue with RTX 2080TI voltage spike showing in GPU-Z and HWinfo, but a nvidia driver update fixed that (441.41 fixed it.) I assume a driver update would fix this. I'm currently using 381.89 and will reply once 441.41 is installed on there and see if that fixes it.

Also, idle power reporting on 10-series is weird. My 1030 reports around 12 W in idle, and my 1050 Ti reports 30 W. There's no way either of these cards eat so much while being super cool with no fan blowing air onto them. Take a look at these levels during a game, and you should see them correctly.

My 4080 Super FE varies between 4-11w at idle, its consistent for the session, but on a reboot, or a power cycle it rerolls the dice, right now I hit the jackpot and its idling at 4.1w. Sleeping and waking the PC also rerolls the dice. This is combined board and chip power draw.
