How to enable AMD Cool’n'Quiet in Windows
CPUs are getting faster, hotter (and noisier due to more powerful cooling), and they consume more and more energy.
Most of the time processors are idling, so why not reduce their speed and voltage? This is where Cool’n'Quiet technology comes in. It allows the system to dynamically and automatically select CPU voltage and speed, depending on performance need. These changes can happen up to 30 times per second.
All AMD Athlon 64 CPUs have Cool’n'Quiet technology . You just need to enable it…
Steps needed:
- Install CPU driver
- Change Power Options
- Check if Cool’n'Quiet is enabled
Install CPU driver
You can find AMD Athlon CPU driver on your motherboard CD, or you can download it from AMD web site:
For Windows XP SP2: download CPU driver
For Windows ME and Windows 2000: download CPU driver
Change Power Options
Click on Start->Settings->Control Panel
In Control Panel start “Power Options”:
In “Power Options Properties” select “Minimal Power Management Power scheme and click OK:
Check if Cool’n'Quiet is enabled
Right Click on My Computer icon on desktop and select Properties
Check CPU speed in “My Computer Properties” dialog box. If you find slower processor speed, Cool’n'Quiet is enabled.
When Cool’n'Quiet is enabled your computer processor will run cooler and with lower power consumption. It might also be quieter because cpu fan can run slower.

Wow!, this was a top quality post. In theory I’d like to write like this too – taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I keep putting it off and never seem to get something done

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post.

This is a good step to save paper. And will save the rain forests in Indonesia. Moreover, this will reduce the burden on the back of elementary school students. Of course this will make the traditional printing companies and governments in the third world into a panic because of their unpreparedness of information technology. . .
