wingzero2309 Posted February 28, 2005 CID Share Posted February 28, 2005 http://www.cpuidle.de/ that program is said to lower your cpu temp, and do a bunch of other useful sounding stuff what do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hulioni Posted March 1, 2005 CID Share Posted March 1, 2005 Just tried this out, and on my AMD 64 overclocked it dropped only 1 degree at idle and load. Took a performace hit when checking with sandra. For me it's not worth 1 degree and unistalled. One of those too good to be true things I think.

Blako Posted March 1, 2005 CID Share Posted March 1, 2005 If you have a computer with top spects and are not woried about problems, maybe. I cant find exactly what the program does to the cpu other then "decreases temps" "However a cheap PC with low-quality components could possible be crashed by CpuIdle" Q: When I'm running CpuIdle my system seems to freeze irregularly? A: If CpuIdle this can have the following reason: either your power supply or mainboard voltage regulation module (VRM) could be insufficient for CpuIdle. Since the CPU constantly goes to sleep and wakes up again, this can be a high strain for poor power supplies/ mainboards. Please check the following entry as well.

disturbed Posted March 1, 2005 CID Share Posted March 1, 2005 well....programs like cpuidle or whatever it is have proved quiete useful to me at least.....i use a similar prorgram on one of my systems called coolerxp....it's AMD based, and it allows me to run about 37-39 idle and about 45 under load.....so i dont know my computer seems to like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
php Posted March 4, 2005 CID Share Posted March 4, 2005 I cant find a program that supports my motherboard (Dell 4700) either. I didnt like using any such programs on my old computer because it tends to just slow the computer down to lower temps. An extra fan is a good investment if your computer is running warm. My hard drives were both running at about 125-130 degrees (the max operating temp is 131). I added a single fan and now they run at 84 - 92 degrees.
