Review: Intel Core i5-11400F processor
We again descend from eight towards six processor cores and twelve threads, this round with the Core i5 11400F, a processor that might be considered the most high-grade value for money in the Rocket Lake-S range from Intel with a listed price of roughly 157 USD.

increasing power limit does the trick, I get ~3600 points in CB20 with my 9700 (non K) it uses ~150W and it reaches up to 74C on some cores. With 9700K in the same system, same power limits (higher than intel spec on both cpus in test) 9700K manages ~3800 since it runs 4.6GHz all core, vs non-K that is running 4.5GHz. Also 9700K (default) was using less power (my sample used ~20W less than non K 9700) and was maxing temps at ~67C (hottest core).
Same cooling, same system.
Aside from that, there is no difference between the two and since I don't care if 9700K can be overclocked to ~5.2GHz (overclock that brings very little to no gain gain in fps on sub $300 GPU) I really don't care for the K. That's because I have been overclocking for past 20 years and now I just don't care to waste time for 2~3fps.

Interesting, i mean if i remember correctly Anandtech tested the 10700 vs 10700K and the K also drew less power, probably because it's less faulty binned chip, like in your case.
By the way i didn't have any K chips and probably never will. I'm not paying extra money for a few hundred MHz. I had an H67 board with i3-2100 went to i5-3550 huge jump, to Ryzen 2600 noticeable jump, but the current pricing on AMD's side not very good, if i want to upgrade i have to pay too much for noticable performance increase in gaming, 2.5-3x price of my cpu for +50% FPS, i would rather go back to intel for an 11400 cpu.

Or increase power limit and enable vsync (or some other type of fps limiter or sync), so when the game needs more power for cpu intensive parts it would use slightly more, but most of the time it wouldn't use more just when needed.
