Intel I7 11700 non-k 65W vs 288W limit. Why you shouldn’t use I7 with power limit - 11700 and 11700F

Left --- I7 11700 with 65W limit Time Spy (720p) Score, Time Spy Graphics score 22204, Time Spy CPU score 7532, CineBench R20 2913 (scores without screen recording) Middle --- I7 11700 with 65W limit, undervolted 100mV Time Spy (720p) Score, Time Spy Graphics score 22226, Time Spy CPU score 8089, CineBench R20 3153 (scores without screen recording) Right --- I7 11700 with 288W limit. Time Spy (720p) Score, Time Spy Graphics score 22009, Time Spy CPU score 12573, CineBench R20 5484 (scores without screen recording) To simulate faster card 720p resolution was used with RTX 3060. Framerate is similar to RTX 3070. With faster cards differance will be increasing. MSI MEG Z490I UNIFY at least for now refused to work with ram speeds higher then 3200MHz for gear 1 and 3733MHz for gear 2. Intel’s non k cpus need usually more then 65Watt. They should be used without power limits for best performance. Most motherboards set these limits higher be default if not they can be changed in Bios or Intel XTU app
