Just got my new PC with 14600K(F) its blazing fast and pc is really smooth. This is my geekbench 6 score with turbo boost and not overclocked, max temps 89c while testing and while gamiing usually 50-75c max (depends on the game) (AG620 Air Cooler)
But my main concern is in the benchmarks like geekbench and cinebench 2024 it pulls out 210-230W under max load is that normal for this CPU because stock TDP is 125W
If you have everything set to auto, it will turn down and thermal protection on it sound like that but if you got a good AIO cooler, you will get more performance the more it can control the temperature the more you will get X240 snow $54 and did a great job if it’s in your budget for a 360 AIO. I would do that. I usually LT 720. And now with a push pole configuration but I have seen 365 W. I now have a limited to 315.
