You are correct- they are capable of high clocks but they use a LOT of power to do it :shadedshu
Now that you have a couple of systems running you can try backing down a bit on your OC on the 8120.... it is possible to get 5-10% less on your results for a improvement of 20-30% on the power. 4Ghz or less may be a good spot to try.
Thanks for the advice, I'd make it. Power consumption has become too large. Over the past month, my bill has increased by 3 times. For me it's not a problem, but the signal.
