So i brought an ax1600i to replace my 10 year old hx1000i as i was a little dubious of pulling 700-800watts with the system in my sig. However i have noticed an issue possibly icue or ax1600i or both. So icue reports my idle power at 160-200watts but my wall socket power meter reports 120-130watts. under load, while sitting in hunt showdown 1896 in the shooting range, i get 530-600watts within icue but 490-500watts via my wall socket power meter. hwinfo reports cpu 110watts and gpu 300watts which would suggest icue is vastly reporting wrong readings. anyone know if this is an icue issue as reddit won't allow me to post my issues within the r/corsair as i mention icue and the post gets deleted?

I would put money on the garbage icue being at fault not the power meter. It was causing problems on my pc and I only had it for the keyboard so I got rid of it.
i would prefer not to use it but i have corsair ram, psu, aio, fans, keyboard, mouse, headset, mouse pad and headphone stand. so kind of need it
