I am getting Core #x power limit exceeded in HWi?

I updated to BIOS 0615 last night (on my ROG Strix Z370-G Gaming AC) and now I am noticing that I am getting Core #X (X = core numbers) randomly showing the power limit exceeding Yes under current and maximum columns on HWi. I can't remember if I had this issue with 0614 or not. Is this an issue or do I need to tweak a setting?

On a side note, I did the BIOS upgrade last night and it reset all of my settings for overclocking my 8700k. I re-did the settings as best as I could remember and it seems to be running fine. I did notice that I lost 10k on RealBench and my idle temps are a couple degrees F higher than they were yesterday.

Anyone?

Seriously no one has this issue? Or is it normal? 71 views and not one comment?

Nate, I only see when I game or run a benchmark. They all say no on mine right now. Any chance of you running a quick bench or Prime95 for a min to see if yours says yes? Pretty please?

Mine at the bottom left say no, maybe a stress test turns them to yes.

I'm not 100% sure but seeing the 8700k is rated at 95 watts and your Maximum cpu package power is at 121 watts, this could be why they're turning to yes.

It shouldn't be anything critical unless I'm wrong.
