How much does overclocking affect power consumption?
- Thread starter Schneizel

You could push that configuration well over 1000W or beyond (with high overvoltages and the right cooling setup).
Question becomes how long do you want it to live and how much to spend on the cooling setup?
The hotter something runs - the shorter the lifespan.
The higher you overclock (and overvolt) something - the hotter it runs.
The more you overvolt something - the higher it will overclock (up to a point).
Overclocking is all about the tradeoffs for available headroom on the parts, available power, and heat. So without some additional info on the case, cooling, desired lifespan, CPU and much more - we can't really answer what the "limit" is for wattage it can draw.
