P.S. Overclockers do not "add more watts" to the CPU. They add voltage through the BIOS, and also generally have decent quality PSUs from the start.


Err, yes they do.
P (watts) = V (voltage) * I (current)
I (current) = V (voltage) / R (resistance)

So, keeping the resistance the same (it's not technically resistance, but whatever). As the voltage increases, the current also increases and that also means the power increases.
