As someone who's had an APU through thick and thin, I wanted to do one last build with the FM2+ platform before I shove off for Kaby Lake/Ryzen shores. I saw a really nice case called the Inwin H-Frame Mini, and I'm currently negotiating with a guy on HardForums to get it. My problem is that I've made sure the parts will fit, including the graphics card, but the internal PSU only support 180W. I know that CPUs require more power the higher the clock speed gets, and I also know that Tom's Guide said that the 7890K could occasionally consume as much as 125W when running at full tilt, with the CPU and iGPU. Is there a chart I can use to reduce the CPU clock speed by just enough that I wouldn't have to slash GPU frequencies, but keep the most performance?

Estimated max power draw is 235W, which means I'll need to cut 60W or so.
