ASUS P5Q-E (P45) pre-view

[FinnEire]

Yes, they seemed to be working just fine for me, but since ThugsRook says "there are many known issues with using C1E and speedstep at the same time. basically you arent supposed to be using them both at the same time." it got me wondering. I have temporarily disabled Speedstep because of this.

PS: I already tried to RMA this board. It has a faulty DIMM slot, but OCUK won't take it back. They tested it, sent it back to me and charged me £21 just to be told there's no problem, which is actually not true as the issue is causing problems again, as it has been for the last month. Conclusion: avoid OCUK like the plague.

Sorry to hear about your OCUK problem!

Personally, if C1E and Speedstep are not going to throttle down voltage with multiplier, I see no reason at all to use it. It hardly made a dent at all in my idle temps and whatever power saving was minimal.
