Noctua Cools Down 700 W 56-core Intel Xeon W9-3495X on Air

This is a 1,900-Watt processor. Granted, that's consumption at the wall plug. CPU alone eats around 1 kA at 1.5 V, I suppose.

Intel Xeon W9-3495X Can Pull up to 1,900 Watts in Extreme OC Scenarios

Intel's latest Xeon processors based on Sapphire Rapids uArch have arrived in the hands of overclockers. Last week, we reported that the Intel Xeon W9-3495X is officially a world record holder for achieving the best scores in Cinebench R23 and R20, Y-Cruncher, 3DMark CPU test, and Geekbench 3...

Keeping it hungry by drip-feeding it 700 W amounts to torture.

Pushed way beyond…..this is Intel we are looking at, 3X the power draw for the same performance is the rule not the exception

Is this meant to be PR stunt upwards?

Maybe not quite sucking, but I've been saying for years that they are not superior to tower coolers in most enthusiast builds, as even on mainstream sockets these tower coolers can keep up with 280mm AiOs. And the HEDT/workstation tower coolers are even more capable, thanks to larger surface area.

On home builds the only true benefit of water cooling is having lower noise. I went from a NHD14 to watercooling and is not like the temps get that much lower but the noise is much more bearable.
