Global warming and overclocking.
Is there a problem here?

Global warming and overclocking.
A little bit. You have to disable cool'n'quiet, because the voltages it
sets will be too low, unless you didn't have to raise the cpu voltage for your overclock (then you'd have to test for errors at cool'n'quiet's lower speeds and voltages too). So, higher voltage = more power consumption. However, you can use CrystalCPUID instead, making your own presets. It will lower the speed ok, but for the voltage, on my machine the BIOS must be set to auto for the cpu voltage for Crystal to be able to set it. I found that Crystal wouldn't set it above 1.45v (my cpu is 1.4 stock). Set to auto in the bios, the voltage isn't enough for the overclock to boot safely so I also lowered the cpu multiplier so the cpu wouldn't go over stock speed with the bus/clock increase, and the stock voltage it gets on auto. Then when Crystal finally cuts in it kicks it up to the full multiplier and voltage when needed, otherwise keeps it at half the overclocked speed and a lower voltage, plus an intermediate step. Nevertheless, even with Crystal and running mostly at the slowest step, the pc will use a little more juice -- the slowest step is now faster than the stock slowest one, and possibly using more voltage. But it's just a little bit, but, admittedly, it would add up for lots and lots of pcs doing it. --- Ed Light Better World News TV Channel: http://realnews.com Bring the Troops Home: http://bringthemhomenow.org http://antiwar.com Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots. |

Not since the XP1700 I believe :)
