Another thing. Is this going to be harmful if I enable AMD's Cool'n'Quiet in its CMOS and use PowerNow-k8 module? I used to use it in the past, but currently disabled for testingn purposes. modprobe powernow-k8 echo ondemand >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor echo 1 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/ignore_nice_load -- Quote of the Week: "This isn't a war.
