Intel Core i7-7740X Skylake-X Processor Review

Power Consumption and Temperatures


Power Consumption

This is where things get extremely interesting. While the slightly higher clocked 7700K did manage to be the tiniest bit faster, it also chewed through power like it was going out of fashion. The 7740K is a lot more efficient, and that’s easily one of the biggest improvements over the last generation CPU.

Temperatures

Well what a surprise, not only does the 7740K use a lot less power than the 7700K it’s also a freaking HUGE amount cooler. Even when overclocked, this CPU ran cooler than a stock 7700K… that’s pretty shameful of Intel, and only highlights how hard they dropped the ball for the 7700K in the first place.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
