Summarize：Unlock power consumption limits to achieve the strongest small host
1、Need to unlock CPU power consumption limit in BIOS
Whether it is the 12th generation i5-12600 or i9-12900 processor，Their basic power consumption is 65W，But in fact, this power consumption is far from meeting the power requirement of the processor to run fully loaded at the highest full-core frequency，Therefore, it is necessary to unlock power consumption in the BIOS。
Press F2 when powering on to enter the BIOS to set it。
2、CPU cooling capability
After unlocking 110W of power consumption，i9-12900 processor oven temperature in half an hour is around 90 degrees，This is acceptable digital。
We try to unlock power consumption to 120W，The oven will exceed 100 degrees in 10 minutes。 Therefore, it is recommended to set the power consumption of the processor to 110W。
3、performance
This is a compliment to the powerful IPC performance and hybrid architecture design of the 12th generation Core Alder Lake processor。
Even if CPU power consumption is limited to 110W，The single-core performance of the i9-12900 is still 6% better than that of the predecessor i9-11900K，Multi-core performance is significantly higher than the latter by 43%.。
4、GPU purchasing suggestions
Intel NUC 12 Extreme host built-in Quanhan 650W gold medal power supply，Single 12V output power 648W，Enough to meet i9-12900 + Power supply requirements of RTX 3090。 In addition, CPU and GPU are independent heat dissipation，do not affect each other，It looks like it is equipped with a RTX 3090/RTX 3080 Ti is not a problem either。
But in fact, if RTX 3080 When Ti runs at 350W for a long time，Will heat the inside of the host，Causes CPU temperature increase。 Even if the CPU is running at 100W，The temperature will also reach 100 degrees。
Later we continuously reduced GPU power consumption，Finally, it's at 240W，GPU heating has no longer had much impact on the CPU。 At this time, the CPU can also run for a long time at 110W power consumption。
Therefore, the selection of graphics cards，It is recommended that the upper limit of N card is RTX 3070，A card has higher energy efficiency ratio，RX can be selected 6800 XT level graphics card。
If Intel can continue to improve CPU cooling design，Make it completely immune to GPU heating，Then Intel NUC 12 Extreme host will be able to use any graphics card with a TDP of less than 400W。
