![]() Short version: There is nothing you are likely to need to do. ![]() Rather you would watch out for windows errors that don't otherwise occur with C'n'Q disabled. However if you are overclocking you have an additional stability concern which is whether the CPU is stable at the lower C'n'Q voltage and this is not something you can check with a stress test because that kind of test puts the CPU at full speed and power. I'm typing on a system where I have done this and C'n'Q is verified working in CPU-Z, on Win7 圆4. You CAN set the CPU frequency or multiplier in the BIOS. You do not need to enable DRAM power down, it's just not applicable.īIOS doesn't need to recognize the CPU, that's why there are settings for it instead of auto-set (no setting). There is NO need to install a separate AMD CPU driver… Windows 7 has the AMD CPU driver built-in already!įirst of all, the question did not ask about "optimal" power savings, so do NOT follow all the "DOs", nor are all the "DON'Ts" correct.Having an old BIOS that does not properly recognize the CPU may disable C’n’Q functionality (flash your BIOS to latest version).Doing so will lock the processor speed and disable C’n’Q functionality Do NOT manually set the CPU frequency or multiplier in the BIOS.Do NOT Select “Performance” as Windows 7’s power management scheme/setting as it will disable C’n’Q functionality.You can verify C’n’Q is working with a utility tool such as “CPU-Z” or “AMD Power Monitor.”. ![]()
