Hello, I was wondering how to unlock that power draw.. The PSU is not that crappy proprietary 80W stock Dell power supply. It is a new, standard and modular one. It is the Corsair SF450 which can supply 450W. The CPU draws 73W so that leaves a little power for the rest of the computer. Does anyone know how to do that?

I have the Dell Optiplex 980 w/ an Intel Core i5 650 @3.20GHz capable of turboing up to 3.46GHz. I am running Windows 10 32-bit (though it shows the processor can run 64-bit windows but I couldn't get it to install) with a Minecraft server. I turned off all of the power saving features.
