Dynamic clocking? (both under and over)

[Hornswoggler]

Thanks to the developments in mobile processors and todays CPU design being more energy/heat conscious, we have access to some new(er) technologies that can dynamically adjust CPU speed from within the operating system.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to get both underclocking and overclocking to work at the same time

My system can overclock just fine. I have an E6300 at 2.98 ghz and am very happy with it. It's fast, but also a little warm. Under full load, it can hit 75* Celcius. This is with a Tuniq Tower 120 and AS5.

But I want it cooler... and quieter... atleast when I am not using it to its fullest potential.

On the other side of the spectrum, if I configure my motherboard (Asus P5B-E) for auto-configurations (meaning, running stock CPU speeds), I can use the included Asus utility called AI Gear to set my CPU speed on-the-fly from within Windows. Unfortunately, it only allows me to move down from stock speed.

What I REALLY want, it to have it overclocked at ~3.0 GHz when I need it, then throttle it down to ~400 mhz or whatever when I am afk. My hardware/software allows me to do one or the other, but I have to think I can have my cake and eat it too.

Anybody else have a similar "wish list" or know any ways to make it both happen?

try dropping the voltage.
