2011 vs 1336 Power consumption?

[///AMG]

I am going to microcenter today because I feel like splurging and I want to get a 2011 system so I can get 64GBs of ram and do a ram drive for fun. How is power consumption of the 4930K or 4820K compared to my 930? Trying to figure out if Ill need a new PSU or not.

If anything power consumption is down. LGA2011 systems idle at pretty low power levels compared to LGA1366 based systems.

Ah ok, I havent paid attention to processors in a while. Just curious would you go 2011 or 1150 for longevity?

Helps having lost the fire-breathing X58 chip on the motherboard.

Without a doubt. A lot of the power consumption differences can be found with the motherboard design becoming more efficient, especially at idle.

Yes, it'll use less power than the 930.
