AMDs Cool+Quiet (or not!)

Hi,
I run an Athlon64 3500+
MSI MS-7025 nForce3 board (skt939)
OS-XP Home
AMD driver 1.2.2.0

I cannot seem to get Cool&Quiet to work!! It just keeps pluggin away at full chat 2200Mhz?! Or there abouts.

I have enabled C&Q in BIOS, whats wrong? ..i read forums where people report speeds dropping to 800Mhz just running windows..then flyin to full power for big apps,like games and such.

Does anyone have any ideas why it's not working for me?? :shrug:
 
IIRC, you need to enable Minimal Power Management in the Power section of Screen Saver in Display Properties in order for it to use C&Q.

IIRC? Eh, thats a new one on me, please? I've enabled and disabled stuff and nothing seems to change..last time i tried it i got fed up and just installed the standard driver. Would you be so ind as to post your 'minimal power setting' as they apear in said power savings window? I fear i may have altered mine along the route last time, trying to make a diference.

Thanks for your input. :)
 
IIRC = If I Remember Correctly ;)

Get to your Display Properties by right-clicking the desktop, select properties and then use the following image to get to the Power Management...

Hmm, i always run mine like that, i altered Home/Office to run with only 'standby' the monitor after 1 hour..leavin all else alone.

I dunno...maybe it's not meant to be? I read elswhere that disabling it in bios is the answer..swings and roundabouts. I'll give it up as a bad job soon i fear..again. :shrug:
