Hello, I own an i5-12500 with an MSI B660 Pro D4. It seems the CPU isn't reaching more than 79 watts under full load, even when running Cinebench and a modded game. Normally it should hit around 120 watts at 4.6 GHz, but it only goes up to 79 watts at 4.09 GHz. I haven’t added any limits, XMP is enabled, BIOS is updated—this issue existed before and after the update. Any advice would be appreciated.

The second option fits better. 4.6GHz refers to the single core turbo frequency; the overall turbo frequency will be a bit lower (the exact value is unclear, but 4.1GHz seems reasonable considering the 12400 is 4.0GHz). The 120W rating is the original power limit, and unless you're using Prime95 Small FFTs, you won't reach close to that number.

Some CPUs indicate ranges rather than fixed guarantees, which aligns with what @RONOTHAN## mentioned.

The question doesn't provide enough information to determine the exact wattage. To calculate it, you'd need details like the device's power rating, efficiency, and operating conditions. Without that data, a precise answer isn't possible.
