So, to kind of highlight this and the oddities of computer processing
Here is four images doing different things and at different voltage.
This is the computer processor downclocking itself during an idle cycle to 800mhz. Slightly lower wattage, but same voltage.
The processor bouncing around frequencies as it's needed. Here it is at 2700mhz. Notice that the wattage draw is actually 1 watt lower than 800mhz.
Here it is stepped in at 3300mhz. Slightly higher wattage, matching the 800mhz.
Here is at idle at 4800mhz with nothing running but the standard background apps. Notice its around 10 watts even with a high frequency and the volts at 1.280.
Here is my system at a higher voltage threshold (1.320) but under a different type of load (CPUz instead of Prime95 down below). Note the 78 Watts
Here is doing large in place FFT's which generates the most heat supposedly. Notice my temp is higher than the CPUz test even being at a lower voltage, but the wattage is much higher.
Here is the CPU doing blended testing under Prime95 which tests a bunch of different components without as much stress directly on the CPU (not for thermal). Note that the temps are slightly lower by a small margin, but the wattage is actually about the same as the CPUz load.
So, as odd as computing is, different loads exercise the CPU in different ways. It all depends on the size of the data being sent in.
Even at a higher voltage or a higher frequency, it doesn't directly correlate with higher temps or wattage usage. It's based on load provided and how much the CPU needs to intervene. I would gladly do a load under gaming but I have no GPU right now as I'm waiting for the 1080ti from asus to come out.
