Benchmarks: Power Consumption

Expecting the 14nm Skylake processor to be powered by nothing more than a gentle breeze? Temper those expectations. When overclocked, Skylake systems chew through roughly the same amount of power as equivalent Haswell builds. Power consumption while gaming, meanwhile, is higher than other GTX 980-based builds as a result of the additional overclock.
