Depends if you have oc'd your system then it can be annoying. Many people I imagine turn it off.

CAQ off on the gaming rig (overclocked) CAQ on with my HTPC (stock) make sure you install the AMD CPU driver and set it to laptop mode in power managment.

Except for certain dfi boards i've always been told it causes problems such as crashing and instability when you use it with overclocking. Presumably this is still the case?

I don't use it obviously because i'm folding.

i use my pc for gaming too, CnQ can be controlled via power management, if u wanna enable it u need to select minim power but if u change to home/office or always on its at max OC or stock (if u not OCing).

so if i think CPU might drop clock then i just change power setting to always on or home/office.

i LOVE it!
