Looks exactly like mine. I can get 31000 if I really squeeze it, but it’s much easier (cooler) to keep it just shy of 30000.

It’s a very cheap and easy thing to do for potentially a large long term benefit. If you have the time to order one I’d grab it.

I have a 13700k (which is pretty much the 14600) and my CPU sits around 25-30w as I type this. I played a bunch of games last night then it’s done nothing overnight but left on. It’s average power draw is still at 37w. Peaked at 131w when gaming. It can draw 300w when benchmarking.

This is surprisingly higher than other people who are claiming whole system at 10w. I find that a little hard to believe with the heat this dissapaits. It does feel more like an old school 30W light bulb amount of heat. Very technical I know.

Not sure how accurate HWINFO is either though.
