overlocking with cool and quiet on?

i think the general consensus is to leave CNQ off when overclocking...
but from what i have read on forums a lot is that its a hit and miss. sometimes people have CNQ running while overclocked and see no problems but other people can't use it.
if your THAT curious, why not give it a try?

i haven't bothered trying it myself, i just dont see a need for it since im folding on both my dual core rigs all the time...

Sure it works. (erraticaly when used on an overclocked system) But why would you have something that REDUCES your clock speeds when you are intentionally overclocking your system?

Kinda like... TRYing to get pregnant, but you wear a condom (with spermicide), she has an IUD in place and you only have sex once a year.

Well said. CnQ "OFF" FTW!!:)
 
Well, it doesn't always have to be running full speed. If you're just browsing around, you should have a problem with CnQ working. When you're running CPU intensive things, you just want it to pop back up to the OC'd speed.

My Gigabyte DS3 worked fine with the Intel speedstep or whatever their version of CnQ is. I had my E6600 OC'd to 3.0Ghz, but when it wasn't doing anything intensive, it dropped to 2.0Ghz. Never had a single problem with it.

LOL best analogy ever!

thanks guys;)
 
CNC regulates the clock speed, if an application is demanding it will run it at the top clock speed, however my system has crashed alot when CNC was on while OCing so I left it off in the bios.
 
If you are going to use CnQ, you MUST install AMD's dual core processor driver.
 
I've never had any luck with it on my neo2, crashes shit and seems like it won't go to full speed ahead all the time.
