I built a new PC recently, been ten years since my last build and it was time for a second box. I wanted to buy one ready built but with the specs I was looking at these were hugely expensive so I decided to just build it and save a grand or more.
Anyway, the reason I'm writing here is that I have some AMD software installed (Ryzen Master) that reports lots of info about the CPU including current draw.
I was astonished to learn that the CPU routinely draws 95 Amps when busy, I guess I should have expected that for a device that can consume over 100 watts and runs at just over 1V but it did catch me by surprise.
