Cool n quiet throttling CPU frequency

[Bond007]

I just realized tonight that my reduced fps during SC2 in large battles (4v4) seems to be happening because of CnQ keeping CPU freq down. I did a quick run with it off (power management set to home vice min power management) and did not see the all too familiar fps drop as armies grow. Does anyone know a program that records cpu freq that will work with an amd CPU (I know CnQ displays it, but can't see what it was while gaming)? More importantly, what about a way to force CnQ to max CPU multiplier while the game is running? Trying to find a permanent fix to this bug that doesn't involve me turning it on and off everytime I play.

CPU temp/PSU are not a factor (this time of year my x3 710 rarely hits 40 deg on stock cooler). MOB is running latest bios and have had this happen before and after the update. Windows XP and the rest of the system is in the drop down.

Anyone?

Crappy 'n' Quick (aka Cool and Quiet) has never been the most stable of drivers for all mobos. On some its just a big old hassle. Easiest way....set your power plan to "performance" when gaming and change it back to its normal default afterwards....as there is no way to force it to turn itself off / run at max all the time. Sorry...would love to be wrong on this and would love to know how to do it myself, but I doubt it.

That is what I thought, but didn't want to hear. Anyone else have some insight for me to try?

I've always saved myself the hassle and disabled it since it has never worked right for me once.

Thats the only advice I can give mate sorry,

I don't quite understand your statement.

But is your maximum processor state set to 100%?

Ha reminds me of that 790gx board that since the clock was tied to the power voltage or cpu frequency (never did figure out witch) the clock would constantly run slow when CnQ was enabled.
Frustrating to say the least.

Yes. It will go to max frequency, however, while playing SCII it does not go to that max state and the game lags horribly because of it. In other programs there is no problem and it goes to max freq on its own.
