    ive heard that when using Hp Cool sense on the coldest setting, that it slows down the cpu, i dont see how this can happen, yet of heard some people say as much



    can anyone confirm this? using cool sense on coldest setting lowers my internal temps significantly, and i dont really notice any draw backs, but i want to know if anyone else has experienced any, thanks

    Many of us just leave it on performance. Others have also complained that the coolest mode did muck with the OS and the bios to negatively effect the CPU. Think about it...throttled down, it won't get hot. Leave it on performance if you want performance.

    There is a way to prove it. Download OpenHardwareMonitor and set power plan to High Performance and CoolSense@Optimize. After that compare with CoolSense@Coolest/Quite.

    I imagine that it would have no impact on machines that don't have processors with Turbo Boost.

    I don't think the Fusion chipsets have turbo boost yet they have Coolsense.

    TurboBoost version in Fusion APU is called TurboCores.
