The second link you mentioned also highlights that the i3 systems' power consumption increased by 93 watts when the CPU reached 5.1GHz, which is not just due to the CPU itself.

Yes, though how come the majority of reviews don't show those CPUs to jump so high in power consumption when overclocked. Here is a bother example.

Showing the increase in power consumption is only ~50w at a high load for the 8350k

Experience shared here is about why most reviews don't highlight those CPUs reaching such high power usage during overclocking. A clear illustration can be found here: https://www.techspot.com/review/1499-int...page4.html
The increase in power consumption is only around 50w under heavy load for the 8350k. It's unclear what to focus on when comparing specs like 3200MHz RAM versus 2400MHz RAM, or why the I3 8350k consumes more power than the I3 8100.

What is the point of even looking at that chart?

What am I really supposed to focus on that chart?
Let me check the details.
Is it about the power requirements for an i7 8700k?
Would you need a 450w PSU for both the i7 and the overclocked GTX 970?
I just want to say that the operating voltage will likely be the bottleneck during overclocking, and the high load could wear out the PSU quickly.
End of discussion.

The 8700k at stock isn't commonly used in stock setups, but if someone did, I'd approve a quality 450w unit.
I've mentioned that the system would draw no more than 300w from the PSU, although we're still unsure which one it is. The PSU's electrical performance also affects how effectively the system can be overclocked. They haven't specified the intended use of the PC.
Regarding the power consumption of the 8350k during overclocking, under a gaming load it's around 70w, and about 110w when under heavy load.
