I've seen several benchmarks about CPU temps, from both sides, but I can't seem to find and tests covering power draw, which is my main focus on any CPU purchase.
Any one done such a test or has come across one somewhere?
Of the tests I have seen, they seem to suggest there might be something wrong with my cooling set up. Running x264/x265 (some encodes could be as long as 7 hours), my temps are constantly hitting 90c + with liquid temps > 40c on a 280mm H115i Pro, in a massive case with 11 case fans on both a delidded 7900X and a stock 10940X running at a lowly 4.20ghz
Before I go and splurge A$1600 on a new 10900K and new motherboard, I'd like to know how it's going to affect my electricity bill.
I did read this post: https://forums.tomshardware.com/thr...-235w-at-4-8-ghz-with-over-90c-temps.3605203/
However, I couldn't see any links to any tests to substantiate the data provided, and it was pre-release, so potentially just rumor. (though the 9550pro link fails to connect for me so I don't know what's there).
