TDP is worst case sustained heat output for selecting heatsinks, not representative of typical consumption at all. Typical CPU fans are also like 12V/0.25A max with power variable between 50 to 100% or so. 20W idle is thus very believable for a build by a sane person[2].
2: Personally I often end up with more substantial configurations like 12V/1.5A 80mm with couple 12V/1A as sides but my suspicion is my lack of sanity is a huge contributor to that
