AMD Cool & Quiet

Hi,

Just built my first AMD based HTPC (HD client for the family room plasma) using a 4600+ on a nice Abit mATX board. On my sagetv machines I try and keep the number of processes running to a bare minimum, but I am thinking that the AMD Cool & Quiet features would be nice to utilize. Is there any reason I should not make use of it?

TIA

Jesse

Some people experience stuttering when using Cool & Quiet, but if you don't then there isn't any reason not to use it. I have it enabled on my server and one of my clients.

Try using SpeedSwitchXP to manage your clock speeds. It's much less twitchy with clock changes than Cool 'n Quiet by itself. Fixed my stuttering problems on my HTPC.

You guys are using c&q just fine? Are you running dual core or single core?

As soon as I start using c&q on my x2 4400+, I get random look-ups throughout the day, not good for the WAF on the dvr...

Have you guys installed either the AMD cpu driver from their website or the dual core optimizer?
