Well the power bill has been quite alot recently and i know why, the computer on load uses about 300(with the screen using ~40) and its on quite a bit and it almost makes up a half of the bill!. Now the system is in my spec <-----, any ideas on how to cut down on the power usage?. I can see the obvious one is to change the gpu, how much of a benefit would i see on going to a 9600/9800 and the value of my card at this time?. Im told underclocking doesnt help as it still uses a set voltage but im happy to be proved wrong.
ANy help appreciated.
