Default Cool N' Quiet won't turn off?
So on the 890FX-GD70 I turned off C1E and Cool N Quiet in the Bios. Windows is running on High Performance power plan. Yet, sometimes in CPUZ I still see the processor throttling down to 800mhz. Is this just a bios bug or?

I could be wrong but I believe that's normal.

What CPU? If this is a Thuban chip, did you turn off Turbo?

yah its a 1090T, turbo is also turned off.


I was under the belief that Cool N Quiet was like Intels speedstep, if you turned it off the CPU would stay at its set frequency at all times.

IF I remember correctly the newer chips have C n Q controlled by chip, no need to relied on separate drivers anymore. If you want it at fixed speed just manually set the multiplier.

Yeah, its my understanding its done at the core level now. IIRC its supposed to allow unused cores to go down in power state so the in use ones can overclock and still stay within its rated TDP.

Yah, I no it is built in I turned it off in the bios, the multiplier is also set to 20x.

Maybe it's a CPUZ bug?

Question: what do you care anyway? It's not like it makes a difference.
