- dis-sys 8y ago166w when fully loaded on a 95 TDP processor, for me, that is the textbook definition of dishonesty.
- mtanski 8y agoIt's pretty annoying... but in lot of Intel marketing and spec sheets you'll find small print language that TDP is measured at base clock speed. The base clock has fallen from the 6700k where it was 4.0Ghz. In the end, it seams to me like the intent is to deceive.
- m45t3r 8y agoI don't think so, Turbo Clocks are Turbo since they're meant for burst usage. Getting above TDP for a few moments is fine, however keeping those clocks are the problem.
- std_throwawayay 8y agoThe power measurements were correct. What was wrong is that the mainboard supplied a higher voltage to the CPU, something that you only do if your want to overclock and your system is not stable at the original voltage. So all the tests are somewhat suspect as we don't know what the CPU will actually do with the changed voltages and thermals. The CPU could clock higher due to the higher voltage or reduce the clock due to the increased temperatures. Nobody really knows unless you really rerun all tests.
- ksec 8y agoThanks, ~170W is better but still far off from 95W.
