Hi.
I'll try to by as brief as possible. I want to buy new computer with Haswell-E and i intend to overclock it. My concern is power consumption in idle. Basically I want to pick for my next rig motherboard witch is is capable to overclock the CPU without rising power consumption at idle. Cadaveca's tests showed that after overclocking the power consumption in idle greatly increases. Do you have any information if overclocking without increasing idle power consumption is possible? If yes, with which motherboard?
FYI. look at my current system specs
I still use C2D as that platform supported software VID control through 3rd party software like Rightmark CPU clock. So you could manually tune CPU voltage for every frequency step. I know that such software voltage control is not possible on current platforms but maybe there exists a Motherboard witch is flexible enough to setup something similar in UEFI BIOS.
Thanks in advance.
