I have a 3800+ X2 oced to 2600mhz on stock voltage and I Do have coolNquiet enabled. The 5x multiplier gives me 1300mhz instead of the 1000mhz if it was running at stock speeds. I have had no problem running the cpu overclocked and using coolNquiet at the same time.
Don't need. Idle at 33C and load at 46C so useless to me anyway. I prefer to have the cpu at full power - this is the reason i bought it. Who cares if it lasts 6 months or a year or whatever.
I had it running, but I did notice a slight delay in the cpu throttling back up to full power when it was needed, and it also doesn't help with overclocking, so I turned it off.
Why would you want to overclock your system just to have the thing throttle back on the power? I can see it if you are running stock settings and just checking email and surfing the web, but for those who are looking for the ultimate overclock and/or gaming experience...I see no need.
Nope (Opteron 170 here). To be honest I don't know if it would affect my overclocking one way or the other, but my temps are low enough already. At least a good 20°C lower than my Athlon XP was running.
I also agree with what someone else said - I bought the CPU to run it at full speed
