Title: AMD Cool & Quiet
Post by: Stone on June 02, 2006, 11:58:20 AM

New PC has Cool & Quiet.

In bios cool & quiet is enabled.

But the PC does not seem quiet, and that aint cool.....


What else do I need to do ?

Is there any FPS problems with cool&quiet? Should I even use it?

IIRC It might cause problems and is recommended to be turned off.

Yup, kill it. My case has three fans (2x120mm 1x90mm) turning at pretty good RPM, yet when Asus QF was enabled it was all trouble. I'm talking ~65º in the room and the processor was nearly cooking @ 59C under load. As if that wasn't bad enough, it wouldn't provide enough voltage to crank the big 120mm fans on system boot. Once it got warm they'd turn over. When I killed it, all of my fans went to full RPM and suddenly she's runnin' cool (~65F in room, idle at 48C). This is for an XP2800+ at 2.2 GHz. Warm, but not bad. It'll get even cooler when I void the warranty and snag a Thermaltake HSF! :D

So your all saying the machine runs cooler with cool & quiet turned on?

How much louder is it with it turned off?

I have mine on.

Machine shut it self down twice in the 3 weeks I've had it running.

Other then that. no problems to report.


BTW Anyone know of an "Asus Prob" Type utility that can be run on the Gigbyte motherboards?

I liked Prob with my old Asus as I could view and set everything up through the software. Tep limits, fan RPMs etc.
this MB doesnt seen to have that option without going into the bios

I do not think it runs cooler. I think it is supposed to keep the CPU fan on low RPM until heat goes over some triger temp.

So it should be called hot & not so loud maybe :)

I can hear the difference, but my CPU fan is still quiet compared with all the other fans, so I turned it off.
