Exactly. I agree with what Woolphy said. slaveonepunx, what you are saying is that something may be wrong with our processors because it isn't going anywhere near the max TDP of 88W, especially with your ASUS Maximus VII MB. I think as long as your temps were OK and your CPU frequency was not throttling, then your TDP was better with the Maximus than with the MSI board you are using now. If you were throttling, you may have to adjust your voltages and current limits until you are no longer throttling. Doing this COULD increase your TDP, so with your Maximus, you have some wiggle room to adjust until your TDP hits a max of 88W. With MSI, you really have no wiggle room, since you are showing a max of 88W already, in which case, you would need to get a better cooler and/or lower voltages.
