Power consumption

I know about pc power consumption and how it scales with clock speed and voltage. but thanks anyway.
However, my question is pretty specific. I did actually get a power meter yesterday. When i have some time i'll be sure to post anything i discover. I wont be able be able to eliminate northbridge consumpion differences between the two setting, but by using different memory multipliers, whould be able to eliminate any bias due to that.
The issue with the northbridge is that, i can either assume that northbridge power conumption is constant and measure the difference between the cpu multipliers, but that would be incorrect. On the other hand, i can assume that cpu multipliers dont affect cpu power consumption and thereby measure any northbridge consumption differences by changing the fsb. Which basically mean i wont actually be able to give a definitive answer.
