I dont think the 'quiet fan' and 'cool 'n' quiet' feature is working for my cpu. (quiet fan is a feature of the mb)
I installed the motherboard utilities, i flashed the bios, but the cpu still remains at 2700mhz when browsing the net and when idle.
I even tried looking for the drivers for my cpu (athlon 64 am2) but i cant find any on amds website, i tried finding the cool and quiet driver from amds website, cant find that too. I tried flashing the bios to the latest version, that didnt help.
I looked into bios, under cpu settings, "Cool 'n' quiet" is set to 'auto', but it doesnt work, and i looked under advanced settings, and "Quiet fan" is disabled, and it wont let me change it. I do have a 4 pin fan on the cpu.
Annoying!!!
My motherboard, is an ASROCK N68-S and the cpu is an AMD Athlon 64 (AM2), my OS is Windows 7 RC

It's most likely W7 that is causing this not to work.

Although I'm sure it's mostly hardware controlled, these things tend to have a few applications or files within the OS.

Yes, how dare people read a question but not have answers to it - everybody should telepathically read the questions beforehand and only open the thread if they have an answer. To spare them the embarrassment, Windows 7 should have that technology built in just like Vista did and it is therefore available in Power Options.
