SMeeD Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Its probably just the power saving features. If you put a little load on your CPU and look at CPU-z it should change back to 9. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

p4blo32 Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Out of interest, when overclocking why do people recommend turning this off? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cchalogamer Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Out of interest, when overclocking why do people recommend turning this off? The constant multiplier and voltage jumps from the default power saving make it harder to maintain stability as it alters settings on the fly. As for non OCed use, keep it on, it'll only reduce power consumption when you're not at your PC or just web browsing and has ZERO real performance impact.
