I dont think so..... those X6's pull some serious power at 3.8 ghz+

We had a starting clock of 3.2 GHz, then, for a vcore of 1.25v due to Vdrop, with power consumption measured at the ATX12V as 116W (we went up to 126W limiting Vdrop to get 1.296V). Firstly we tried to stabilise this clock at a lower voltage and managed to do so at 1.18V, taking us down to a power consumption of just 95W! A very impressive result for the Phenom II X6! We went up to 1.22V to stabilise it at 3.3 and 3.4 GHz (106 and 108W), 1.28V at 3.5 and 3.6 GHZ (126 and 127W), 1.33V at 3.7 GHz (145W), 1.38V at 3.8 GHz (166W), 1.44V at 3.9 GHz (188W) and 1.49V at 4 GHz (224W).

If you are pushing over 1.5v then 320w is about right, depending upon other hardware in the system...
