I recomend this program...

RightMark Clock Utility

basicly it replaces your power management software for your CPU.

This little program supports most CPUs back to amd athlon/XP and PentiumII from what I can tell.

I use it on my Opteron 180 and it works a charm. Replaces my cool'n'quiet which my bios doesnt suport on Opterons but the program works so much better. is great to play with, I have controle over all multipliers from x4-x12 and can lower vcore to .800 which i do when running the x4 cpu multi. keeps my system very quiet and very cool. Best of all overclocking doesn't seem to give it any problems like it does with cool'n'quiet.

Anyway give it a look over..

"RightMark CPU Clock Utility (RMClock) is a small GUI application designed for real-time CPU frequency, throttling and load level monitoring and on-the-fly adjustment of the CPU performance level on supported CPU models via processor's power management model-specific registers (MSRs). In automatic management mode it continuously monitors the CPU usage level and dynamically adjusts the CPU frequency, throttle and/or voltage level as needed, realizing the "Performance on Demand" concept."


Real-time CPU clock and CPU/OS load level determination and monitoring (with optional logging).

Detection of virtually any form of CPU clock throttling.

Dynamic on-demand CPU performance state (P-state) transitions via real-time adjustment of CPU multiplier (FID) and/or requested voltage level (VID).

Dynamic on-demand CPU clock modulation via real-time transitions between CPU clock throttling levels.

Fine-tuning of advanced CPU-specific power management settings for AMD K7, AMD K8, Intel Pentium M/Centrino platform, Intel Pentium 4 and Xeon, Intel Core Solo/Core Duo/Centrino Duo platform, Intel Core 2, VIA C7 and Transmeta Crusoe/Efficeon CPU families.

Complete support for multi-processor (SMP/HT/multicore) systems.

Windows power management settings and LCD display brightness control (where supported).

Battery information display (general and per-battery) including real-time status display of the battery life time, charge level, charge/discharge rate etc.

CPU core temperature display (available on AMD K8, Intel Core and Intel Core 2 CPU families).
 
I use my PC for watching movies, TV programs, music and audio books and when doing so I like to keep my system as quiet as it can be. It's also a shuttle sn25p so keeping heat down is always important to me.

Of course there’s then gaming which makes use of the overclocking.. Hey I just like overclocking :p I don't really want to make a trade off with noise though. I'm also pretty green orientated, not a tree hugger but I think about my carbon footprint so when I can make improvements in power consumption without to much impact on my enjoyment of things I do so.

From the overclocking point of view I get to play with each multi and optimize it fully. You can play around with this program for weeks tinkering here and there and I think that kind of involvement in our systems is what interests most overclockers.

As an actual tool for overclocking performance this tool has little merit. However as a tool to work with overclocking I find it invaluable. I know of nothing else that offers this kind of functionality that’s out there anyway..

Thought it was worth a mention anyway :)

Yeah the voltage you select and what you actually get can often be pretty out. Its odd how yours are so static though. what are you measuring them within windows? I use CPUZ and/or speedfan.
