I bought my PC from scan well over a year ago and it is still running smooth and fast (p.s. looking fwd to buying the GTX 780 from you guys when it arrives as my GTX 580 is starting to wheeze on a few demanding games now...).
Anyway a thought occured to me the other day - is the processor (i7 2600K) running at 4.7Ghz (as it was overclocked by SCAN) constantly even when I am browsing the web etc?
I looked at my BIOS setting (for MB Gigabyte Z68MX-UD2H-B3) and found two settings:
1) CPU Enhanced Halt (C/E)
2) C6 State Support
Both disabled and both appear to offer idling power saving functions. So my question is this: can I select one of these to make my cpu downclock when doing non-intensive tasks and thus save power? If so, which one? And if I do enable these, will it affect my overclock performance?
Thanks!
