6500 vs 6600k - temps and noise
- Thread starter altich88

95w is its TDP (thermal design power), overclocked heavily it will be much higher.
95w is the heat output wattage of the CPU on heavy loads. 65watt vs 95watt. so temps will be higher if the CPU is outputting 95w of heat vs 65w.

No, the 6600K has been independently tested to have a 75 watt TDP cap at the stock clocks. The officially published 91 watt figure is pure Intel marketing BS which doesn't seem to correlate with respectable 3rd party testing. Go read some reviews, you'll see i'm right 
Wheras the Intel published figure of 65 watts for the 6500 is probably far nearer the truth for that one... but you'll have more trouble finding reviews of those ones. They only came out a few days ago and nobody is really so bothered to be testing them.
