It performed well with the 12th gen i5; after replacing it with a 13600KF, the wattage isn't displayed. Are there any free or inexpensive tools you could use to track this alongside the data from the afterburner? I’d like to continue using it, but I’m confused about why it doesn’t show the wattage while everything else does. Did I overlook an update?

Update hwinfo64 to the latest version, then set up msi afterburner to utilize hwinfo cpu plugin within osd settings. If problems persist with the updated hwinfo, you may also configure it in hwinfo to transmit data directly to RTSS.
