low tdp cpu for gaming. Z97

[allmighty_bob]

getting a laptop with a desktoplga 1150 socket in it. 
Cooling isn't perfect. and 4790k on full speed and 4.2 Ghz runs at 90-92c on some benchmarks i've seen.

Abit much for me


But, there are 4790s. Is that just the same as a 4790k just locked at a lower speed? (i.e. will underclocking a 4790k give me the same results, or better).

Or is it something actually different about the cpus that makes the 4790s more efficient per watt of heat.

It's MXM gpu. so i plan on using this laptop for a while, and don't want to damage the motherboard. or burn my knees off if i take it with me on a train or something .

So looking for suggestions for best z97 cpu, that can do gaming with a 980m (and a few more gen of nvidia gpu's) without bottlenecking them. 

But still not run at 90+c

Pentium is low tdp

 

Also, T sku stuff is the lowest tdp

Just underclock the i7-4790k

I have an S sku i5 it's the same thing as any other i5 but lower clock speed so yes the 4790s is just a slower 4790k

also doesn't the T sku CPU's have a maximum of 2 cores?

Pentium, T, or S Sku.
