Temperatures and Power Draw
You can't have a processor with this many cores running at these kind of speeds and not generate any heat. Equally heat generation is a by-product of energy usage, although if you can afford a 2 grand processor we don't think that 100 Watts of power draw above a mainstream CPU will be high on your list of worries.

Those are insane temperatures. I mean, it's amazing that we've hit a temperature ceiling with something like a 360mm AIO at max fan speeds. It shows how Intel's CPUs scale with voltage and remain stable. But it feels like such a shame, like such an odd product.Quote

How is 68 degrees insane?
If you complain that is gets hot when you start OC'ing then you are missing the point here. This is not a product made for manual OC'ing.
It seems to run perfectly fine, when used as intended.Quote
