Just got my core i7 stable at 3.8 with HT on with intel cpu burn test. Highest temps on core 0 was 79 which is good enough. Which powers saving options should i turn on and which should i avoid?
 
Ok so i have CPU enhanced halt state on along with EIST. cpu has the multi reduced to 12 along with clock speed which is at 2.2. My question is this when i am gaming will this shoot up to 3.8 with 20 multi? i go into game and come up and cpuz shows that its gone up to 3.8 but after few seconds it shoots down which i assume is because im on the desktop?
 
Ok so enhanced halt state and EIST are ok being on, i mainly game so i guess once im gaming they will jump up. Should save me wee bit on the leccy.
 
raven people said that when your in game it bumps the OC to 3.8 which i have just found out. When i go to desktop it then bumps it down. the energy saving options are good options if you ask me. Argh not sure if to keep it on or off. When im gaming my cpu uses all of the OC power i assume?
