Thanks for this, I was wondering why Linux was using more power (on my UPS) compared to Windows.

I just added amd_pstate=passive to grub and it brought it down ~15 watts, there's other options but I believe they require kernel 6.3 or higher. More info here.

Also I was using this before but for other people, if your it87 based sensors aren't showing up, frankcrawford maintains an updated it87 module.
