This is a brand new Dell XPS 8950 i9 computer, not a partial upgrade in any way.
I don't believe the size of the power supply is communicated to the OS, if it is I don't know where to find it and I don't want to open the case. Doing so may void the warranty.

The Dell "engineer" called and he was a different guy than before and not technical in the least. He was unable to understand the X-Y CPU plot that I shared here so I cordially cut off the call and asked that the original guy call me. I can't waste my time talking to sales people when I need an engineer. This guy also said that they want to ship me a new/different computer to which I said that is premature.

Thanks for the list of suggestions in your previous post. I think next I'm going to investigate the power options that Steve suggested I look at.

EDIT: I'm not giving up on LatencyMon by any means. It may be an imperfect tool but all tools are. Plus there seems to be a treasure trove of info in it beyond the main tab. We have Stat, Processes, Drivers and CPUs tabs. There must be valueable info on these tabs if we can figure out how to interpret and use it.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
