Some companies shut down or ignore your requests. You spent a lot on gear for your rig—got a 9900K, a 10900K, and others. The 7700K is decent but not the most efficient. If you want to use the 9900K in mining, it might work if you tweak it. To keep power under 75 watts, consider optimizing cooling and using efficient components. A 50W or lower setup could help. You can look into better fans, liquid cooling, or even a more efficient CPU if possible.

TDP doesn't match actual power use, and running the CPU mostly does nothing, meaning all CPUs perform similarly. I think selling the 9900K would be a good idea, and buying a Pentium or Celeron could generate some profit.

I wasn't aware that 10100f and 9900k are identical during idle. I assumed the power output changed, but now I see they match. It makes sense since I intend to use it for various tasks beyond just gaming.

Yea there about the same power at idle and low load, some small differences. Id keep that 9900k
