Hi Guys,
I have an existing board with LGA 2011-v3 socket, which I'm want to re-purpose. However I'm also wanting to reduce my power consumption, as its a 24/7 box.
I'm considering a E5-2620 v3 or i7-5930K. I cannot find the idle power on the 2630v3 but the TDP is a more reasonable 85W rather than 5930k's 140W. I also understand that idle on the 5930k is about 71W.
Now what I'm thinking of is underclocking the 5930k to reduce power consumption. Has anyone done this? I'm unsure how this would go?
Thanks,
