Cool 'N' Quiet troubles
Hi!
I just put together my brother's system with 2x 120mm fans + 120mm in PSU.
K9AG-Neo2-Digital works fine with X2 7750 but I cannot initiate Cool'N'Quiet. In Bios C'n'Q has been anbled. AMD CPU drivers have been gotten from site 1.3.6 CPU drivers and in power management i have enabled minimum power consumption scheme. OS is 32-bit XP sp3.
Yet, it always shows 1.32-1.30v for CPU core in newest HWmonitor and such so obiously something is holding back C'n'Q.
I've disabled the Ati Hotkey Poller that once was problem in enabling C'n'Q.
Any suggestion what I shoud do?
Thanks advance.

Re: Cool 'N' Quiet troubles
Are you sure it's "minimum power consumption"? I don't have XP anymore (replaced it with Windows 7) but it seems that the setting was actually "minimum power management" not "consumption". My Cool 'n Quiet did not come on then, which was fine because I only used XP for games. I had to set it for Laptop use or something like that.thejamppa wrote:... in power management i have enabled minimum power consumption scheme. OS is 32-bit XP sp3.
Good luck!

It might be because board is old 690G series motherboard with combined "Cripled" Phenom Dual core that is quite new could also cause the slight problems. So far I am in dead end. But with 2 case fans ( rear case fan is Ninja Rev. B 1200 rpm fan on CPU header and is about 2,5cm's away from Ninja itself ) has prooven succesfull. Rear exhaust is bit loud at 950 -1080 rpm speeds but has good sound quality without tonalities.
Core's are below 32 degree's C and CPU temp is around 38-40 with Cpu Vcore @ 1,30v - 1,32v.
Check out K10STAT if it can do the QnC stuff for you instead.
I use K10STAT instead off CnQ. works better and you can fine tune it to settings you want!
Currently using it to undervolt/clock my Phenom X4 9750 2.4Ghz to 1.0Ghz @ 0.816v when in idle usage (below 20%) and back to 2.4Ghz 1.184v when more power is needed. Works flawlessly.
