Anyone use CPU cooling programs anymore?

[JC]

You know, like Rain, CPUidle, CPUcool, etc. Or have these gone the way of the 486?


Thx

Nope, they are all built in to the OS now...

Ah, that must be the 'cpu idle process' I've seen in the Win2k process listing....but Win98 doesn't have such a thing, right?

If using 98, then i would suggest using CpuIdle Pro.

yes I aggree cpuidle pro 6 is a good program to use I have winXP and it still manages to drop my cpu temp by 10 degrees F

Thanks. I grabbed the CPUIdle extreme alpha, took me from 42c to 31c. Nice!

That'll hold me until I get an SLK-900 or something....

Get yourselves a copy of WPCREDIT and WPCRSET, and find out if you can enable the CPU cooling option for your motherboard chipset.

I use them on an ABIT NF7-S Rev 2.0 and get a drop of about 9-10 degrees, plus you don't have any extra programs running and munching up resources, like CPUcool etc.
