Which number are you looking at? 18 W idle for a 5900X is very low. 30-40 W is typical for these. Your system is probably not configured correctly, is using slow RAM or you're looking at something other than package power.
GPU idle power seems quite high though, but as I understand most AMD GPUs struggle with power management with more than one monitor connected (no experience here, last AMD GPU was 2012).
- neogodless 4y agoIf you mean PPT then yes, that's closer to 40W. CPU Power is 15-20W. SOC Power shows 17W. The RAM is DDR4-3600 CAS16 running at 1800Mhz, which I don't believe is slow. GPU is "relatively" idly but just having Ryzen Master or Adrenaline open and displaying these values means it is not truly idle.
