combine those 2 things with reviewers OCing on the stock heatsink, and i bet the overclocked power consumption is beyond what we expect

i had a hard time finding OC results on a strong heatsink and where they didnt just max out voltages as if they were going to see SPi world records.
give me results of 1.375-1.425v on a heatsink that didnt come out of a cereal box, then lets see if BD is so horrible. sacrifice 100mhz, and shave off 30% of the power consumption with it too i bet.
So you think the power consumption numbers are higher because people used the stock coolers and more voltage than they could have? How much power usage would you expect to shave off with the ideal scenario?
