Hey all, today were are taking a quick look at 13th and 14th gen power consumption issues and how to easily fix them by following Intel SPEC for the chip. Intel has for 13900K/14900K a 253w limit in the "Extreme Config" on both PL1 and PL2. For the 13900KS and 14900KS, the "Extreme Config" is 320w on PL1 and PL2. This can be referenced here on Intel's website. https://edc.intel.com/content/www/us/en/design/products/platforms/details/raptor-lake-s/13th-generation-core-processors-datasheet-volume-1-of-2/processor-line-thermal-and-power-specifications/ Again, these are difficult to find specifications and should be made clearer to the end user and enforced by motherboards as default. Either way, you should follow their maximum recommendations if you want to run in a "stock" config.
