[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 2752876, member: 29706"] Will it use more power than a current level cpu yes. A pair of 5640's @ 80 watts each for a total of 160 watts a high end i7 is around 140 watts. When you overclock that i7 you're going to be well over the 160 and your idle wattage will be higher than the pair. Your also going to pay a huge premium for that newer tech and the 5600 series cpu's are dirt cheap. I did not say my idea didn't have some caveats and while I am basing some info off the crypto mining the overall performance per dollar spent on hardware especially the cpu is very good. [/QUOTE]
