Question about Overclocking and POWER consumption

[SuperCyrix]

Suppose you overclock a chip and kept the voltage the same, does it still consume more power?

Suppose you underclock a chip without lowering the voltage, does the power consumption go down?

power requirements go up and down - yes.

 

[randomboy]

PI=V or something like that Its all directly proportional, if voltage goes up, current can decrease, if voltage goes down, current will decrease for a given amount of output (wattage, or whatnot).

But the question is, does the power consumption change if you keep the voltage the same.

 

[THUGSROOK]

yes
