Many of you computer enthusiasts out there like to overclock your PC’s (personally, I avoid it like the plague), however a direct side effect to this is the increased power usage your steroid pumped PC consumes. Increased power usage not only contributes to a higher power bill, but also increased output of heat (which will cost even more to cool down with the summer months approaching).
Well, give your overclocked PC a power reducing tune-up with the help of this Tech ARP article titled “Reducing The Power Consumption Of Overclocked PCs“. From what I gathered in the article, the steps which decrease power usage have no noticable impact on the performance of your overclocked PC, so you have nothing to lose… except some power consumption.
After all, if you are overclocking, you probably like to tweak… this helps you make more tweaks to save some cash to apply to your next project.
