Hi All,
I have bought the Tongfang GK5C6X laptop and I have been having very very high idle CPU package power, I have removed the Bwin SSD as well that's known to cause high idle draw, even then I average around 15w with just edge open. I additionally have added a Crucial m.2 SSD and a Vertex OCZ SSD. Any idea what could be causing this and is there any application which can used to find out what apps/hardware are consuming power ?

Check task manager for something that may be using heavy resources.
Admittedly I had the same issue, I simply did a reinstall of win10 and a fresh start, because I didn't feel like troubleshooting it. -
I reinstalled as well, its the same, I think its because I am connecting to an external monitor and I guess once external monitor are connected laptop only uses NVIDIA GPU and hence this power draw, I cant see anything else

The external display uses your gpu and raises pkg power by around 12.

Here’s another good (long) thread about the same laptop, including some tweaks you can make (and some pics):

Not sure why this thread was revived months later, but the fix for high package power while external monitors are attached isn't in the thread you linked.
I've posted the fix in the Overpowered laptop thread:
