A question about Cool'n'Quiet

    Okay, here's my system specs:

    AMD 64 3000+ Venice core
    1GB PC3200 memory
    120GB Samsung (argh)
    MSI K8N Neo4 mobo (I think that is the model no.)
    MSI X800XL PCI-E

    It's probably obvious what I do with my computer... I do mostly gaming, but other than that just basic school work, etc. Duh. :p

    Should I enable Cool'n'Quiet in my BIOS? By default it was disabled.

    My current CPU temp is 33C while I write this and gets up to usually no higher than 42C during heavy gaming with the stock HSF. What do you guys think?

    Also, how do I use the Catalyst Control Center to determine my video card's temp? Thanks guys :)

    Cool n quiet doesnt need to be enabled... you can if you want, it doesnt really matter if its on or off with those temps... If your card has overdrive enabled, goto properties, click the settings tab, click advanced, then click the ATi Overdrive tab... OR you can download a gpu OC tool like ATiTool, Click Settings, use the dropdown menu and goto temperature monitoring, and go from there (you need to have MBM 5 installed, which i like just to keep watch on my temps)
