TDP limit on 4670k.

[Bubbleawsome]

I really should know this, but is there a limit to how much wattage a 4670k should pull as long as voltage and temps are in check? IIRC the 4770k was around 95w while the 4670k was around 65w. I'm currently hitting 90-100w on the 4670k.

TDP 84 watts..

TDP is just a specification for manufacturers to provide a minimal cooling solution. Power limits are generally controlled through PL1, PL2, PL3, PP0, PP1 and TDC together with EC / SIO and ACPI control. As an example my mobile i7-4700MQ has a TDP of 47W. When power limits are removed it will draw a package power of 80W using Linpack uninhibited by power limits and is ultimately limited by thermal throttling.

4670K is rated at 84w. Power draw at stock varies slightly depending on binning. However, overclocking will change that. As will AVX "power viruses" that auto-over-volt vs real life usage though. If you want a more realistic test (for both power consumption and load temps) for most non-AVX apps / games, try Prime v26.6 rather than Linpack / IBT. How your system deals with power based throttling rather than temp based trottling depends on how you've got your motherboard, turbo boost durations / limits, etc, setup. A lot of this stuff is often disabled by default on desktop Z boards, and primarily useful for mobiles or tiny cases with limited cooling / power availability (thin Mini-ITX fed off pico-PSU power bricks, etc).
