I'll be using my sig rig. Yes i know its terrible isn't it?
I would like to get it from the stock 2.2Ghz up to about 3Ghz. A few questions first though. How much more power will it use if any? The reason I ask is because I'm planning on getting a HD 5770 soon and want to make sure my PSU will be enough. Someone in the PSU board said that with my current configuration I shouldn't draw for then 270w with a full load with that card. The second question would be how much shorter of a CPU life expectancy can I expect? Just looking for a ballpark figure here.
I'm just looking to get a little more out of my meager machine. I don't have the money to buy anything other then a graphics card right now so a whole new build atm is out of the question.
Thanks for all the info in advance
