You could mention that your goal is to maximize power savings beyond 95 watts, focusing on optimizing CPU usage.

The 7700k is the quickest processor for that board. What CPU do you currently have? I’d consider upgrading your motherboard and CPU together to access the latest CPU models.

What's your upgrade allowance? It seems a fresh board plus a CPU would be the most practical choice since the 7700k isn't a major jump from what you currently have.

It also usually costs quite a bit of cash on the second-hand side (the prices have dropped a little lately).

Budget? A pre-owned 7700k seems pretty worn out now, and the current lowest price for gaming isn’t much better than an i5 upgrade. Around $150 would be a solid deal compared to a brand-new Ryzen setup, or even a used one with a Ryzen 3600(x) and B450 board.

I want to clarify what you're asking about. Are you looking to upgrade to a faster CPU for your computer? Your i5-7400 is indeed one of the most efficient options available for many motherboards.
