I notice the May 2006 drivers are a bit diff then the May of 2005 drivers. for example when your cpu is at zero precent, the new AMD Athlon 64 v1.31 drivers, will drop your mhz speed all the way down to 500mhz with Cool & Quiet enabled, instead of 1ghz like last years drivers did v1.2.1. I like it especially when i'm watching movies my pc now is quieter.


For anyone interest you can find the new drivers here.

If you have and older amd driver installed, be sure to uninstall the old driver first in add/remove programs before installing the new driver.

Hmm..does this post belong in the "overclocking" section, being that overclockers usually would have no need for Cool N Quiet to be enabled?

Yes it does because it's cpu related.
