    And... where do you see that your processor sucks up 265W?
    It's 250W under load according to some reviews
    AMD 8350, 8Gb, ASUS 6970 DCU II, W7 64

    When you see power load benchmarks... it's system wide. You can't just measure the CPU wattage with a
    DMM.

    EDIT: Your CPU has a 125W TDP which means that's the average amount of wattage it will pull when running
    "real applications." Unless you've OC'd your CPU and it's pegged at 100% usage I highly doubt you're pulling
    250W out of it.
