K10STAT - Full Cool'n'Quiet Control

[repoman0]

Just found this great guide on getting the program to work. You can use task scheduler to run it in the background with no system tray icon even, uses less than 1MB of RAM on my system.

The program lets you change the multiplier and voltage of each of the P-States for your processor when CnQ is on. Then you can choose to have Windows control it as usual or let the program manage it, which I do. You can set the multiplier and voltage to change per core (unganged clock management), which is awesome for power saving - if you're playing an intensive single threaded game you will have 1 core at full speed and the others at the lowest speed due to the dual power planes of the K10 design.

I have my four P-states on my Phenom II 555 unlocked to X3 set to these values:

P0 - 3456MHz, 1.2875v
P1 - 2808MHz, 1.150v
P2 - 1836MHz, 0.950v
P3 - 864MHz, 0.775v

And post back with the voltages and multipliers you end up with!

Is there anything like that for i7's? Sounds really great.

Too bad all 3 motherboards I own disable Cool N Quiet as soon as I overclock, than again I've used K10stat to manually lower my cpu multiplier/voltage within windows since 2008 to reduce power consumption.

Wow that really sucks, I've never heard of any board doing this unless you raise the multi over 16 or 17 x.
