First question. Is it now drawing 45W of power versus the ~35W it was using initially? Surely that can't be too hard for someone to figure out.


All it takes is a Watt Meter and a bit of math and then factoring out the other devices drain (disc drive, etc).


35W -> 45W would mean nowhere near an increase of 1.5Ghz-3Ghz+ on the CPU.

Google some power draw stats on desktop CPUs, doesn't add up.
