I'm not sure which forum this would be best in so I'll start here.
My PC:
Athlon X2 5600
Gigabyte M57SLI-S4
2 GB RAM
Vista Home Premium 32 bit
Recently I configured my PC to use the S3 sleep state instead of S1. I compared the energy usage between the two and the savings is awesome. Problem is, when my PC resumes from S3, the multiplier changes from 14 (max) to 5 (lowest). I have to reboot for it to come back to 14. Weird.
I setup my BIOS to enable AMD Cool'n Quiet which automatically regulates voltage and the multiplier and this does fix the problem, but this sucks for games. The processor keeps throttling down and it impacts performance.
I flashed my BIOS to the newest release and I tried removing all overclocking and the problem is still persistent. Does anyone have any idea how I can either keep the multiplier from changing or help me figure out how to keep AMD C'nQ from impacting gaming?
Thanks.
