i5-14600k owners can you test 65w pl1 and 100w pl2?

Hello everyone i currently have i7-8700 which have 65w tdp and max will go up to 100w (although i never seen it goes above 50w in games)
i'm planning to buy i5-14600k but in my country i have electricity problem(limited on the amount i can draw) so im worried about the 14600k having too much power draw can anyone that have 14600k/14600kf test pl1 at 65w and pl2 at 100w and compare it to the stock values of pl1 125 and pl2 181w, i want to see how much gaming performance i will loose if anyone can test cpu heavy games at 1080p that would be great, i didn't find anyone on the internet trying that, also at the same time i want to see how it perform if limited to power draw similar to ryzen 7700, thanks!

Hi Hani and welcome to TPU.

Please fill out your TPU System Specs so we know a bit about your hardware. Be specific about your power supply (PSU). Do note your power consumption, what your system demands from the wall, be limited by the PSU.

If your current system is not being restricted by the limits your power company has set, it is highly unlikely a different CPU will. I mean if necessary, just go around the house and turn off unnecessary lights and you should be good to go.

That said, I hope you understand that i5 uses a different CPU socket than the i7. This mean you will need a different motherboard. My point is, any differences in power consumption may come from more than just the CPU.

Never heard about something like this, you have a limit on how many Amps you can pull from the grid ?
