Usually those are space-constrained systems like mini PCs or laptops. Typical Desktops shouldn’t be limited; even the stock CPU coolers should be capable of dissipating all heat, as long as the case has enough air flow. > You might find it's actually better (and more efficient) to run at lower > loading.

At least very current CPUs tend to go into so high clock speeds that they become quite inefficient. If you set a 105 W Ryzen 7700X to 65 W eco mode in the BIOS (which means that the actual maximum intake goes down from 144 W to 84 W), you reduce consuption by a third, but only lose ~15 % in performance. At very low figures (15 W), Ryzen 5000 and 7000 CPUs are almost as efficient as Apple M1. -- Grüße | Greetings | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network.
