Re: Reducing The Power Consumption Of Overclocked PCs
even c2quads run at lower speed (e.g. 3.4ghz -> 2.6ghz) when max performance is not needed. just enable all power-saving features in the board's bios...

Re: Reducing The Power Consumption Of Overclocked PCs
AMD called it cool n' quiet, cool is when the processor is downclocked and reduced in voltage, quiet b'coz as soon as the cpu reduce clock and voltage AM2 based motherboards with 4pin fan would automatically slow down RPM of the cpu fan hence more quiet operation.
