Power Consumption

No review is complete without taking a look at power and the Intel Core i7-6900K did fairly well considering it is an 8-core processor with a 140W TDP.

At idle the Intel Core i7-6900K Broadwell-E platform used 101W at idle and that is impressive as includes the ASUS X99 motherboard, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 FE video card, Crucial MX300 1050GB SSD and the Corsair H105 water cooler. The processor topped out at 204W in Handbrake and 332W when playing Thief at 1080P.
