So I assume that when it's booting it is only running at 1.6ghz speed (x6 multiplier) - I'm sure there is a BIOS setting, but I really never really cared, when I put it on 10x multiplier the PC fans spin so fast it sounds like a jet is taking off :) And I don't PC game much anymore, last few years have been basically WoW and FFXI. |
That... is not a good idea. The CPU runs at x6 when idle, it lowers clocks to save power only when you don't need it. If you put a load on, it would go up to the max, 10x, and run at full speed anyway.
So making it run at 10x all the time is just wasting power, not giving you extra performance at all.
