Cool 'n Quiet works very well. It requires a HSF that supports it and BIOS
that support it. Windows Power Management *MUST* be set to "Minimal Power
Management". Once this is done, it will automatically throttle both
processor voltage and timing to suit the current system requirements. I
have an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ on an ASUS K8V SE Deluxe, and my Processor
voltage will drop to 1 volt and speed step to 917 MHZ at idle, yielding a
proc temp of 33 Celsius. When I am gaming, it will go to full voltage and
full speedstep (2.2GHz) and a temp of 39-40 Celsius. You probably did not
have Cool n' Quiet configured properly for your rig. You need to install 2
drivers...one for the chipset on your motherboard, *AND* the AMD drivers.
id you did not install both and then follow the guidelines in the first two
sentences above, then you did *NOT* have Cool n' Quiet properly installed,
and therefore you received the results you stated.
