[QUOTE="BennieBoy, post: 264952, member: 12527"] Hi, As you all know, system can get really hot. Fortunately Both Intel and AMD uses ways to decrease heat when no processor power is needed. AMD's system is called Cool and Quiet and works by reducing frequency (and voltage?) This results in a processor which dissipates a lot less power and is, therefore, Cooler. However, AMD's cool and quiet driver does not take this mechanism to the limit. By using a piece of software called [url="http://cpu.rightmark.org/download/rmclock_235_bin.rar"]RMClock[/url], you can use lower frequencies and lower voltages. At this moment I am running my MP system and the processor is, in idle, 5 degrees Celsius above ambient temperature. Full load for 30 minutes will rise the temp about 20 degrees above ambient. The temperature under full load is by use of a undervolted AMD 3000+ 939. It normally runs at 1.45 V and with RMClock, I reduced the Voltage to 1.25 volt (your millage may vary). At idle, I reduced the voltage to 0.875 Volts. Rm Clock will calculate all the in between values and adjust them accordingly. Have fun, Ben [/QUOTE]
