So I'm using an E8400 for my gaming rig (please see rest of system specs below avatar).
I overclocked it, been stable for over a year now, from 3Ghz to 4Ghz.
Thing is that I browse the net a lot from this pc too, so I thought it was a pity to let the cpu hum at 4Ghz all the time. So I enabled Speedstep which reduces the multiplier to x6 when the cpu isn't under load. The effect is that while under load my CPU runs @ 445 BUS x 9 = 4Ghz, and while not under load it runs at 445 BUS x 6 = 2.67 Ghz.
My question is this:
Does this setting affect my performance in-game? Or can I rest assured that my cpu is always running at 4Ghz while gaming?
Thanks.
