Is anyone seeing CPU throttling with Vista? My CPU runs as if CnQ is enabled, regardless of whether it is or not (I'm running the latest available CPU driver from AMD as of this morning, but the throttling was happening before and after).

Basically, if my CPU isn't under load, Vista drops the multi to 6x from 13x, but if I do anything CPU intensive (say..Seti), the CPU goes back up to 2.6GHz, where it should be.

I'm running the Always On power profile as well. I'm at a loss here.

I am taking it that CnQ is something that prevents your CPU from throttling?

perhaps it isn't fully compatible with vista? wouldnt be surprised...

Ronin, still waiting for my Vista...until then can you tell us do you have CnQ enabled in bios...try with disabled.

It would be great if that driver is in the OS...or should we call it ACPI 2.0 support ?

Why is it that every forum I've posted it in, nobody ever reads the whole post?

OBVIOUSLY, if it was enabled, I would expect it to throttle, as that would be my desired effect.

Ah sorry...draw conclusion at first few words...kinda a habbit while this tabbed browsing with all new posts makes me feel like there is no time.

I should probably back off some, as I do the same thing sometimes.

Unfortunately, though, it doesn't solve my dilemma.

Ok then we can continue.

How about ACPI 2.0 switch in BIOS, as far as I know that is needed for CPU throttling.

My bios has it...gonna try as soon as Vista show all it's bits.
