I've searched the forums and done some testing on my rig, but I still have some questions as to the exact functions of these options.
My mobo manual has them all listed as basically word for word the same thing....
Previously I had C1E disabled, C3/C6 enabled, and EIST disabled.
at 47x100 with +0.60 DVID and load line calibration set to 1, and the powersaving settings set to as above here is what I find:
Idle : According to CPU-Z 1.59 ~ 16x100 and vcore is .948 to .960 (vcore read with eazytune 6. no other program seems to read it correctly) Eazytune states that the core speed is 47x100 still.
Load: CPU-Z ~ 47x100 and 1.392 to 1.404 vcore. Eazytune states the exact same.
If I enable all powersaving options, C1E C3/C6 and EIST, the only real difference I find is that Eazytune shows my multiplier dropping as low as 1, and bounces in between 1 and 47 depending on what load is on the CPU. Vcore moves around a bit more but doesnt go over 1.4ish under full load.
CPU-Z just sits at either 16x100 or 47x100.
I have read posts stating that harddrive performance has suffered for some folks with c1e disabled....I have yet to do any benching to confirm that.
For now I am just going to leave it all on unless I suspect it is screwing with my o/c's stability.
Can anyone shed some light on the specific differences between these options? Or a link if I somehow missed it..... thanks!
