But if I used a Phenom Quad core CPU 9550 it pulls 0.55 amps. In theory the 9550 should pull less because it's a lower TPD and the phenom processor is supposed to be smarter about power management. So - why is the Phenom pulling more power? Is it because power management software for the Phenom isn't updated yet?
