Intel Core i5-14600K

[Caring1]

Admittedly I don't have the best phone and could care less.

If you want to know message me in another thread as this is for the 14600K and has been heavily derailed.

While the thread is already seriously derailed, the saying is could NOT care less.

Look up my last post over about the gaming performances. My point still stand that limiting the power usage on the 14th Gen Intel CPUs to AMD's counter parts will massively reduce the gaming performance on them to the point that it will be completely pointless buying them if you are going to use them in a Mini-ITX case. Because using them in Mini-ITX cases forces you to limit the 14th Gen Intel CPU power usage A LOT, because any 'low-profile' CPU cooler wont be able to handle the power those 14th Gen Intel CPU poshes out. So the CPU will just throttle a whole lot then and lose a crap ton of performance.

With AMD, you can have massive performances at good temps and still have a long lifespan on the whole computer, because the AMD CPUs aren't cooking the rest of the components in the computer, like Intel does.

AMD is unbeatable when it comes to performance in a Mini-ITX case. PERIOD.

I tested it with my 14600K for you.

Shadow of The Tomb Raider, my regular settings. Absolutely no difference stock vs 85 W power limit, while it's a pretty CPU intensive game.
This is with a 3080. There is absolutely no way you would have a difference in any game with a 3060 ti.

Just for fun, I tested with 55 W and 30 W power limits.
It's pretty much the same experience with 55 W than stock settings. With 30 W it's stuttering unless I put a 82.5 FPS cap, in which case the experience is good.
Remember this is with a 3080, not a 3060 ti.
