    I know they underclock the CPU when it's not being used much but for christ's sake it makes everything slower. I don't WANT my CPU to only be 1200mhz to save power. I want the full 2400 mhz even when I'm just surfing the internet.
    Changing minimum power state in advanced power options does nothing
