Intel is slowly getting crazy with their power consumption.

But in all seriousness. From what I've heard in the last few months, many ASUS boards just give more power than the CPU is rated for. This supposedly killed a lot of AMD chips recently. 4kw still seems like an error. This ain't an electrical vehicle.

It just damaged mine, it was crashing all the time before I messed around and tried power limiting mine. It was about 2 weeks before it got revealed that it was a wide spread issue.

I don't think I caught it early enough, though, because I have a lot of problems with my USB controller. It can only handle like two or three devices plugged in at a time before things stop working. But, technically, it still works, so... I think I'd have trouble making a warranty claim.
