What is AMD Cool 'n' Quiet, and C6 State

Pretty much just a way to throttle down to save on power & fan noise. Been around for a number of years.

No idea on C6, just that it's a specific type of powered down state.

I use Cool'n'Quiet, it's neither cool nor quiet. It's a lie, it such a lie it makes the cake look like the truth.

lol.

 

personally unless you're suffering temppuratures above 45*C at idle on a laptop or whatever (no idea why ANY desktop should suffer such heat issues but those too i guess) i wouldnt  throttle anything. preformance drop isnt worth the 2~~~10 degree impreovement. (then again what my laptop at home has is limits it to like 5% CPU usage, slow as all hell but stays in the 20's xD )

Watch out for each other. Love everyone and forgive everyone, including yourself. Forgive your anger, forgive your guilt. Your shame. Your sadness. Embrace and open up your love, your joy, your truth, and most especially your heart.
