it only lower the multi when it doesn't need the power. as soon as a program needs the full cpu speed it raises the multi back to max. You will never notice the performance difference between it on or off. But when it doesn't need the full CPU power it will lower the multi and vcore to use less power and generate less heat.alexbay13 wrote:
Lowering the multiplier = less performance. Why?
FSBxMultiplier=CPU Speed
Low CPU Speed=Less Performance

You get to help cure diseases without costing you or having to really do anything. It's such a waste to let your cycles go unused.

well it does cost the price to run your cpu at 100% which can add to to more than some realize.max wrote:

"people in ny have a general idea of how to drive. one of the pedals goes forward the other one prevents you from dying"
not really. Even on high performance PCs (i.e multiple GPUs and quad cores) the difference between load and idle is like 100W. Assuming your electricity costs 0.10$/kWh and you run 24/7 it would cost you 0.24$ a day or 7.20$ a month. Don't tell me you can't afford that.haffeysucks wrote:

EDIT: come to think of it, no one is forcing you to run 24/7. Also the increase of power will be less than 100W for a normal PC. Chances are your PC isn't idle the whole time. So IRL it will probs cost you a lot less than the 7.20$/month I calculated

fah won't stress the GPU to those levels
going from idle to fah load on a 8800GT adds <45W. It's about the same for an OC'ed q6600. A dual core or a non-oc'ed quad will need even less. On my OC'ed 4870 going from idle to fah load adds 55W

my q6600 g0 was real sucker for power when stressed all cores to the max. TDP was sky high at 3.6GHz. too hot for my 9700nt to handle lol.

make sure that layer is THIN. all it is is something to fill in the little cracks.
MX-2 is non conductive, AS5 is formulated to reduce conductivity, but is still slightly conductive.

fah pretty much only uses the shaders, the core and memory are left more or less idle.
look at prime95 and intel burn test as a example. Both use 100% of the CPU time, but IBT needs way more power and heats up the CPU more
