Hm, support, eh. How about how to get my Q6600's cores to clock lower than 1.6GHz on idle?

(Not really sure what the point is in joining a club house, but may as well ...)

I'm a *nix guy, read my specs. I have enabled SpeedStep though, that's what's allowing scaling to 1.6GHz on idle.

I found this, but it's a bit vague. Plus it doesn't give the units, I wouldn't want ondemand trying to set it to 10^6GHz or whatnot.

Edit: I presume it has to be in multiples of the front side bus freq?

Yep. I'm going to change the the conservative governer and have it so that it goes 2.4>1.6>0.8, and see how that fares. If it's too slow at scaling (as has been warned) I'll just switch back to ondemand's 2.4>1.6. But it just seems stupid to set it that high on idle when it's doing zilch.

Grrr ...

So is it possible at all on any OS to set it lower than 1.6GHz on idle? If not, well imo that's stupid.

I've been running TAT and some prime95, wondering if you guys can shed any light on my Speedfan temps for me... and also, anyone know how to force my Zalman to run a bit faster, the mobo wants to run it permanently on the lowest speed... :(

**EDIT**
Ok, it seems you -have- to use EasyTune5 to adjust the fan speeds...

Just wondering, but what kind of temps do you guys see around 3.0 ghz? My E6400 with 1.4vcore gets up to 50-53C idle with a Zalman 9500 and I thought it was a bit high... should I try reseating the heatsink?
