OC & Still use c-states
Hi, been a while since I posted regarding overclocking and such but it have come to my knowledge or something like that I don't really need my computer to be running at it's full power all the time since most times it don't need to.
I have overclocked my i7 860 and everything is set to manual in bios I have tried activating the C-states but nothing changes when I leave it at idle, so I disabled the c-states and left it at that. But just stumbled across a post on a different forum stating that I need to use the x22 multiplier with a certain c-states active which allow the cpu to turn of cores when not needed for instance the guy mentions c3 & c6. So before I actually do something I thought I would ask for advice which I would use without screwing with my OC or damage anything
