Power readings from HWMonitor are unusually strong on a machine that has remained steady for over two years.

Observe that there isn't a temperature increase linked with the power settings. Also, after executing prime 95 along with multiple Chrome windows and tabs for 20 minutes, I observed this. It appears normal. The only plausible reason I can think of is a glitch in the software used to measure those readings.
