Is cool and quiet a propert of the CPU or the motherboard?

The reason I ask is that Asus motherboards advertise cool 'n quiet, while
some others do not (Gigabit I believe)

To get cool 'n quiet, one must select the correct motherboard?

I currently have Cool N Quiet disabled in my BIOS. I didn't think it

there anyone using it and what benefits has it provided you (if any)?

It makes a huge difference, 99% of the time the CPU will be running at
it's lowest clock speed which reduces the power enough so that the CPU
fan
isn't needed.



AFAIK it's a property of the CPU.
