Thanks, I must have missed those posts.

Is it better to use the K8 Cool'n'Quiet drivers for the motherboard or the ones of the AMD website?

i tried acitivating c&q with the asus driver for my a8n sli but the drivers were plain crap

the amd drivers solved my problems

My motherboard is a Asrock 939NF4G-SATA2.

i know, you have mentioned it before

but because asus is the company behind asrock your drivers might be just as bad as the ones for my asus

nwg, definitely enable it-- will extend the life of your investment & save you a bit on the power bill

definitely use the AMD drivers-- mobo manufacturer ones suck

correct; it adjusts core/voltage (up to 30 times per second iirc) to meet the current load

Is that a process then, that would allways be running in the back ground, and also load at startup?
