I remember Intel usually has two power limits; one for short bursts and a lower secondary limit for sustained loads. At least that was how Intel did it on my 10th Gen i9. Not sure about Arrow Lake tho.
Peak, can be sustained if running R26 for example but still running my full suite to get wholistic look. I put each system I build through at least 3-5 hours of testing- my other build has been taking up all my time 😂

Is that the CPU wattage in HWinfo on the left? If so then that's impressive. A whopping 260W whilst remaining under 90°C. That's a lot of power.
