How to Use AMD
Cool'n'Quiet
Update the driver of processsor
Please
go to AMD's site to download the latest driver and then open your Device Manager
to update the driver of CPU.

Adjust Power Options Properties
Please
restart your PC after updating the driver, and then get into the Power Options
Properties in Control Panel. Adjust Power Schemes to Minimal Power Management.
Make sure the CPU clock dwindled
Finally,
you can use tool kit to justify the Cool'n'Quiet is enabled. Take Athlon™64
3200+ for example, the standard clock is 2000MHz. After adjusting it to the Minimal
Power Management, as long as you PC stays under the low loading circumstance,
the CPU clock will be located in 800MHz. As soon as there is a program starts
running, the CPU clock will begin to add 200MHz each time according to the loading
of data.

Cool'n'Quiet
in CoreCenter
You can also observe Cool'n'Quiet
from MSI™'s exclusive CoreCenter interface. Please
note that the frequency adjustment is made by multiple
frequency in order to achieve best Bus performance.
Meanwhile, we can also see the voltage of processor
is lowered to 1.38V(AMD64™ 3200+)to reach real
power conservation.
Another important function of Cool'n'Quiet
in MSI™'s exclusive CoreCell chip is that it
can precisely control the temperature of processor
to optimize cool fan's performance and to further
reach power conservation as well as noiselessness.
It's quick and easy to use this function. Just get
into CoreCenter interface and set User mode to Cool'n'Quiet.
In addition to an effective power
managment, Cool'n'Quiet can also eliminates noises
resulted from CPU fan. The theory is quite simple
which is while CPU is working in a low frequency,
the power comsumption and the heat emission will stay
low. Through a delicate fine tuning mechanism, it
can not only effectively lower the fan speed and noise
but also maintain a good efficiency of CPU cool sinking.

Cool'n'Quiet
|
How to use this function? It's
easy. Just get into the CoreCenter interface and select
Cool'n'Quiet on the Fan Control interface. As long
as the Cool'n'Quiet is enabled, the power management
will be enabled, the fan speed will be automatically
slowed down, and the noise will certainly be greatly
eliminated as well.
Some people may
ask that how slight the fan noise turns out to be
after enabling Cool'n'Quiet. Here we found a comparison
table of noise level, provided by www.avc.com.tw.
From the comparison charts below,
we can identify the difference of noise level between
Cool'n'Quiet is enabled and disabled. When the Cool'n'Quiet
is disabled and the fan runs in full speed, the noise
is 43.0dB(the noise background value is 16dB)
