Cool & Quiet, how to make it work?
Ok, so I enabled the Thing in the BIOS, A8S-X board.
Is something else needed????? Just the bios?? The asus site is not organized well, need some pointers. |

Download the driver from the AMD website.
Set minimum power usage in display properties. AMD also has a utility to show Cool and Quiet in action.

On Tue, 08 May 2007 01:18:39 GMT, Andy Let everyone including
the NSAs Internet database storage program know as they typed on their keyboard faster than a monkey on crack the following: Download the driver from the AMD website. Set minimum power usage in display properties. AMD also has a utility to show Cool and Quiet in action. Which driver from AMDs site? They have about 4 choices, which do I pick? Its confusing.

As 'Andy' said in the other post, you have to go and adjust power settings on the PC and set it to 'minimum'. |

Power scheme is on minimal, installed the drivers, enabled in the bios etc.. Don't know why, but stopped looking after it 'cause nothing helped. Some other people have similar problems? Can imagine OP has the same problem. Maus |

[...] Which driver from AMDs site? They have about 4 choices, which do I pick? Its confusing. I have a 3500+ VENICE[64bit] AMD AthlonT 64/FX Processor Driver for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 Version (x86 and x64 exe) 1.3.2.16 from http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/...1_9706,00.html. That's the driver. Once installed you need to enable C'n'Q via Control Panel Power Options select Minimal Power Management. Monitor your CPU speed via a utility like PC Probe or Everest. If it drops from the default 2.2Ghz to something like 1Ghz when under light or no load then C'n'Q is working. If it doesn't you may need to check your ACPI settings in your BIOS (ACPI is usually enabled by default these days). |
