Hi
I see you're curious about your i7-2600k's power usage during overclocking. It's normal for core temp reports higher power draw than the TDP indicates, especially when pushing it to higher speeds. Your motherboard should handle this if it's rated for overclocking. Just keep an eye on temperatures and stability.
Thank you!
