AMD Cool’n’Quiet
The Cool’n’Quiet technology can effectively and dynamically lower CPU speed and
power consumption.
C1E Support
To enable this item to red the CPU power consumption
while idle. Not all porcessors support Enhanced Halt
tate (C1E).
Important
To ensure that Cool’n’Quiet function is activated and
will be working properly, it is required to double confirm
that:
Run BIOS Setup, and select Cell Menu. Under
Cell
Menu, find
AMD Cool’n’Quiet, and set this item to
“Enabled”.
Enter Windows, and select [Start]->[Settings]->[Control Panel]->[Power Options].
Enter
Power Options Properties tag, and select
Minimal Power Management under
Power schemes.
Adjust CPU FSB Frequency (MHz)
This item allows you to select the CPU Front Side Bus clock frequency (in MHz).
OC Stepping
This item will be enabled after you set the overclocking frequency in the “Adjust CPU
Base Frequency (MHz)”. And the following items will appear. This items will help the
system to overclock step by step after system booting up.
Start OC Stepping From (MHz)
This item is used to set the initial base clock. The system will boot with the initial base
clock, and start to overclock from initial base clock to set base clock that you set in
“Adjust CPU Base Frequency (MHz)” step by step.
OC Step
This item is used to set how many steps for base colck overclocking.
OC Step Count Timer
This item is used to set the buffer time for every step.
Adjust CPU Ratio
This item is used to adjust CPU clock multiplier (ratio). It is available only when the
processor supports this function.
Adjusted CPU Frequency (MHz)
It shows the adjusted CPU frequency. Read-only.
Adjust CPU-NB Ratio
This item is used to adjust CPU-NB ratio.
Adjusted CPU-NB Frequency (MHz)
It shows the adjusted CPU-NB frequency. Read-only.
