If you run with C&Q enabled in bios and dont instal the drivers in the OS is will realy kill performance. Thats why installing the drivers would smooth things out in this case.

Thats all the drivers are, they control the clockspeed and voltage for C&Q. Most MB manuals will tell you not to install the drivers if overclocking but I found that it does not matter as they wont do anything if your OC'd
