3.4.1 CPU Configuration

Cool ‘n’ Quiet

Use this item to enable or disable AMD’s Cool ‘n’ QuietTM technology. The default value is [Enabled]. Configuration options: [Enabled] and [Disabled]. If you install Windows® 8 / 7 / VistaTM and want to enable this function, please set this item to [Enabled]. Please note that enabling this function may reduce CPU voltage and memory frequency, and lead to system sta- bility or compatibility issue with some memory modules or power supplies. Please set this item to [Disable] if above issue occurs.
