I'm curious about how much performance I'd be sacrificing if I power limit my 14600K to around 75 or 80 watts while playing heavily CPU-bottlenecked games. Has anyone tested this or have insights on the impact?

You'd likely lose quite a bit of performance. A simple test you can do is set your power plan in Windows to 'Power Saver' and see how it affects your gameplay.
There’s a detailed review by TechPowerUp where they tested a 14900K under power limits, and the results suggest similar outcomes for your 14600K. You could expect notable performance drops.
Thanks for the info! Do you remember what their findings were like?
