My 88w tdp 4790k cpu consumes without turbo enabled, 125w on prime95 under fma3. And no, voltage doesnt spike +0.1v under such load, 4.0/1.0v all they way during the load is applied.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but intel tdp is only comparable to actual power consumption on anything that isnt avx2/fma3.
I have to disappoint you again.
91W usage, 91W TDP in the most demanding FFT load.
Using the maximum power consumption FFTs give way below TDP.
75W used with 91W TDP.
All that is done with a 115W max limit set in BIOS. So there is nothing as such preventing the CPU from going all the way to 115W if it wanted to.
