Core i7 Power consumption test

I'm sorry if I miss this but I didn't find any power consumption test from [H] yet. Anyone knows any other review with the power consumption test?

He also mentions that the 130W power rating is way overstated in the review. Other sites have reported power consumption in reviews at the wall and 12V AUX level.

How about power consumption during OC and what does power gate brings to the table?

Kyle didn't seem very interested in running power consumption tests, but there are many other reviews that tested it. See the NDA expired thread.

Under idle conditions with Turbo and Speedstep on I saw the system pull 10w less than with with those turned off.

The wattage usage looked no different than C2 overall.
