AMD Cool & Quiet
I notice when playing games, opening/closing various apps, etc. my CPU
constantly switches to and from 2.4GHz/1.0GHz (power mgmt is set to portable/laptop). I like this, it dont seem to compromise performance and it idles alot cooler, however, is this frequent changing of the CPU speed too hard on it and should I just set it to one of the other settings that keeps it at 2.4 all the time? Thanks for any info provided. AMD Dual Core 4800+ |

Thanks for any info provided. Makes no difference to the CPU. It's not the same as turning it off completely. Leave it as it is - what's the point in thrashing the nuts off it at 2.4GHz when you're reading a webpage, e-mail or typing up a letter? It is AMD Cool'n'Quiet mode doing it's job. Thought it had to be set on Minimal Power Management for it to work though. Agree that it's excellent though. -- Conor "No trilogy should have more than four books" - Arthur C. Clarke |
