http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,2845,2052562,00.asp phenom I has 2 p-states, phenom II has 4 under full load the cpu gets into the lowest p-state (=p0) when idle to highest pstate (p3 for phenom II, p1 for phenom I) cool n' quiet sets different multipliers and vcore values for each p-state k10...

... you can set multiplier and vcore for each p-state thus it's possible to undervolt/clock in idle state(s) and, at the same time, overclock/volt as soon as the cpu gets load... to achieve this k10stat simply modifies the parameter cool'n quiet is reading/using so k10stat doesn't need to be running...

same here:

phenom II 720 be:
(should be C2 stepping)

with C1E enabled
idle powerconsumption
drops about 5-8w

buuuuuut:
on my gigaboard board
this option results in a
badly outofsync system-clock !!!

i'm kind of disappointed... don't get me wrong the review is great but the really interesting thing (imho) would be the power consumptions of the new phenom(s) when installed in AM2+ motherboards !!! http://www.silentpcreview.com/790gx-gig-vs-msi i missed such a comparison in the first AM3 review ht...

...and another tool:
- sourceforge. net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=255384
- www. hardwareluxx. de/community/showthread.php?t=592774

according to the author (and the screenshot)
it's also possible to set the multiplier for each p-state,
something that k10stat is missing (for now)

nice tool !!! just changes parameters of CnQ, doesn't have to be running in background like RMClock i found a more useful tutorial: www. pctreiber. net/datenbank_artikel_96_lesen. html (sorry for the crappy link, but i'm not yet allowed to post urls...) it's in german, but there's a simple translati...
