I'm throwing this out as a general question. I've read around the 'Net that turning off C&Q often improves stability on Athlon 64 systems. I'd like to hear experiences with it, how it affects overclocking (if at all) and if it causes instability at stock, when overclocking, neither, or both. If it is a problem, is it more common on VIA boards, NF3 boards, or equal?

If there's already a thread like this, feel free to poitn me at it. :)

It adjusts the CPU voltage and the multipliers while running, from what I can gather, to reduce the temp of the CPU, definitely not a good idea while overclocking. ;)
