Anyone ever heard of this app? It claims to lower temps of nForce2 chipsets by 5-10 deg. Celsius

Looks interesting... but then again I don't know anything about mobo architecture.

"This patch will allow nForce2 chipset based motherboards to use C0/C1/C2 advanced cooling mode instead of the basic S1 and reduce idle temperatures by 5-10c degrees! supports only Windows XP/2000! unlike other utilities this is only a device driver (less ram usage) and since nForce2 has BIOS programmed S1 bus disconnection. other cooling utilities (using S1 mode) are useless with the nForce2 chipset!"

I tried it...it lowered it by 2C...

CPUIdle works better in my opinion.

My temps are in the 38-42 C range no matter how warm my room is.

S1 / OS and C2.

Tried this program as well as CPUIdle. Neither lowered my temps by even 1C. Running 44C idle, 30C case, 24C room temp. Temp doesn't change with or without any idling programs.
I think the next two things that'll change my temps are the new Arctic Silencer rev3 (which I bought about 3 days before it went on sale:roll, and a 35W Athlon. When I'll actually buy the latter is uncertain though. I got the less expensive 45W model for my secondary PC, and I'm impressed thus far. 2.2GHz no problem @ 1.7V. I don't want to go any higher on the voltage though.


I'm running a rev1.2 NF7-S BTW.

To my surprise, mine went down ~3-4 degrees.
Does this work with the same concept of CPUidle tho? Where it only kicks in w/ there's nothing intensive running?
