Not OC - CPU at Stock settings
I would like to clarify this question. Since I have searched a lot and found very different Informations. Some says that is a power hungry CPU, other sources says that is a myth.
I’ve saw a video of a trusted source, talking about the 13600k and it says that this CPU does not use (on average) the 181W that is what it says on Intel page. And performs with a much lower power usage (Avg) obviously, not while benchmarking and taking the CPU to the limit, like CB23. So it says that it’s a myth, and this CPU has a much Lower average power consumptions as was speaked.
Is the 13600k truly a power hungry CPU as it seems, while used at Stock settings and without OC?
What is your experience with this CPU, and your power Average on common tasks use, browsing, windows, multitasking, etc? (not playing the most CPU heavy and intensive games out there)
Did you really need a powerful PSU to feed the beast? Or its a normal CPU with a higher consumptions?
Since there are true, and false statements/opinions about this CPU. There are many contradictory informations.
Tell me your real experience with this CPU, while not used with OC.
