Funny isn't it how the mobo tries so hard to save energy all the while I've got 6 120mm 1300rpm+, 1 140mm 1200rpm, and 1 80mm fan cranked to the max. Seriously it way to loud but it's very frosty. I played 2 hours of Crysis today on high settings having a ball and my cpu didn't go past 39C and the Radeon OC at 665/1023 didn't go past 44 C. I played with headphones on of coarse. Something else I need to tweak in the Bios to intelligently controll those fans...heh |
Well it probably is SpeedStep as well read your manual because they bring out more "green" power options all the time.
