Just to explain my thoughts up-front, I am more interested in my system being quiet than fast. Still, I wouldn't want to turn down some free frames per second if I can get them![]()
Right now, I am overclocked 10% and have cool n quiet turned on (stock voltage). This unfortunately makes the CPU run at 1.1GHz when power saving rather than the usual 1.0GHz. Would be nice if overclocking settings only took hold at the highest power state, but heigh-ho![]()
My question is: Whilst everyone & their cat seems to have found the upper limit of their CPU with CnQ turned off, has anyone here tried with it left on? I presume the 1GHz low voltage setting will be the limiting factor.

. Get a fan controller mate.

) C&Q won't have that much effect on overclocking? Maybe at the extreme levels, but the lower multiplier would surely balance out the effect of increased fsb at lower speeds. As the CPU load ramps up it just increases the multiplier - maybe this occurs to quickly to be stable on a high overclock, but a medium one should be ok I'd have thought. (I'm also someone who wants to run with C&Q all the time).
