8bit60fps@alien.topBtoIntel@hardware.watch•13600k & 14600k owners, what is your idle and/or low workload power consumption?English

1 year agoI recently bought an 14600k and I was surprised how easy is to cool this chip due to low consumption (30-50w) during gaming or light workloads and at idle state it stays under 10w.
If you really want to keep the CPU efficient, as a few folk already mentioned undervolt and set the short and long power limit setting under 180w is the solution.
Im currently using a deepcool LT520 on a 14600k at 5.8ghz, peaking at 200w in cinebench and this cooler is able to keep it bellow 90C.
The only cons that i see is the fan noise at full speed 3000rpm but you can get a silent AIO like Arctic Liquid Freezer II that performs equally if not better
