ZeroDamage April 24, 2007 Share ZeroDamage Member April 24, 2007 What is the name of it? I am not quite sure what it is that you are talking about in this case. Is it an Intel only sort of thing maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiler April 24, 2007 Share boiler Member April 24, 2007 IF it's speedstepping that is being referred to, then thats just an intel thing that will allow the motherboard to lower to clock speed on the processor when you don't need full power - intel made a big deal about the advent of this back with the P3's, especially in laptops to help improve battery life. I have an E6600, and I know there is an option in the bios referring to stepping (it may say something regarding speed step, but I can't remember for sure, not at home right now). I oculd be totally wrong, but that was my guess as to what you are looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auggybendoggy April 25, 2007 Author Share auggybendoggy Member April 25, 2007 it is an intel thing and it is speed stepping technology. M2 says keep it off. I'll do that until someone makes a good case to turn it on. Aug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiler April 25, 2007 Share boiler Member April 25, 2007 (edited) unless you're running a laptop and/or are worried about power consumption, no need to turn it on. listen to M2 on this but it can't hurt so listen to Cujo on this lol Edited April 25, 2007 by boilersax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo April 25, 2007 Share Cujo Member April 25, 2007 actually, i'd turn it on unless you're over clocking. then leave it off or risk possible system damage. otherwise, no need to waste the power. it switches so fast when you need it that you'll never feel the difference.
