Skylake energy question

[c0d0ps]

My current computer is in my spoiler.
Anyways, my main focus is if switching from Fx 6300 (am3?) to I5 6600(k) skylake would lower my (mom's) energy bill?
My second "side question" is if the skylake version is quieter and cooler (less heat) than my current system?

 

Note:
I live in Sweden (EU), not in USA.

It would only lower the power bill by a dollar or two per year, and how cool / quiet the chip runs depends on the cooler. A cm 212 evo will bring down the temps, and be a lot quieter then the stock cooler.

Quietness and temperatures will depend on the cooler you use.

1 - no, FX6300 uses about 40W more under full load and similar amounts while idle - you will save less than 2$ monthly
2 - depends on the cooler.

The difference in energy consumption will not be noticeable, maybe a few dollars.

 

There will be less heat produced but the noise level depends entirely on the cooler and fan you're using.

k series doesn't have a cooler, and for the 6600 non k the stock intel cooler is better than the stock amd cooler but is still loud and crappy

 

As for power bill umm that doesn't matter much, let's say you save 50W, and power costs 20cents per kwhr, you'd be saving $2.40 a month if you used your computer 8hrs a day not really a big deal.

Actually - Wraith Cooler is worlds ahead of Intel's pitiful cooler

That's extra (aka not what he has most likely)

It's free on FX6350, 8350, 8370 and A10 7890K/Athlon X4 880K - it's stock

Okay, thanks y'all.
I'll be doing a new thread in new builds, and planning sometime soon.
When money starts rollin' in.

I might be going for a different cpu cooler (probably similar pricing though).

Go for an i5 6500 + RX 480/1060 or i7 6700K + 1070/1080

Should go for an i7 6700 + budget board over an i5 6600K + Z170 board
