You guys use this feature? Not sure. It's getting mixed reviews on the amd forums?

hmm interesting. Well I configured it to run, but oddly, I don't think it is anyway. I know I set it up right though. So I guess I'll leave it as is for now and not fiddle with it unless I have an issue running my games. shrug.

IIRC, you need to activate it in the BIOS as well as load software in Windows.

Talking of AMD, what was the big news then?

Jedi, I did. I activated it in bios anyway. I did'nt see any software for it on amd? I musta missed it. Do you used it Jedi? When you run games?
in order to use it do you have to run the software in the background? I mean, the mobo came with software for cool n' quiet and it seems to work, but I don't know how much resources it takes to run it while I'm playing games. hmm.

I don't use it, but I seem to recall the CD that came with the mobo had a util on it.

i do not think there is any software ytou need to run. there might be extra monitoring tools, but this is a bios feature and is managed by the mainboard itself.
