you won't be creating extra heat...

at idle cpu's can throttle down... even gpu's throttle down...

at load you'll want a higher potential(voltage)

about the extra juice being wasted.......its the current that becomes heat...if the load doesn't require much current then there isnt much heat at all...


voltage

Voltage is the potential energy of an electrical supply stored in the form of an electrical charge, and the greater the voltage the greater is its ability to produce an electrical current flowing through a given circuit.
