2) overclock the processor
4) measure in the same state as above (full out or idle)
5) take the difference (you did use more when overclocked, right?), apply the PS efficiency, then add that to your base 65W to get a notion of how much power you're using

I didn't up the voltage on my CPU yet, just the FSB and I'm able to pull 1950. But I do know for a fact that my CPU temp does go up from stock speed though.
