    Is the CPU throttling of the D900F controlled by bios or the os ???

    I have a d900f

    I notice that from HWMonitor

    the voltage of the CPU will go up and down to over clock or under clock the cpu every so often when applications are running ...

    If the voltage goes up ... so does the clock speed and temperature

    what I would like to know is -> is this cpu voltage and clock speed ... throttling controlled by the bios or the operating system ???

    :confused:

    OS for turbo. ( speedstep )
    Bios for the rest. From what I saw in my desktop, Can someone confrim this?
    Odd though, I'm not getting a voltage on CPU-Z, just clocks :confused:

    hi there ...

    :D

    do you also have a d900f ???

    I have just switched to windows 7 and i noticed something odd ...

    using the oct 22 drivers from clevo on windows 7 seems to bring the temp of everything down a bit ... especially the hard drive and the cpu ...

    with the old drivers and windows 7 ... the temp of the cpu and hard disk increased a little bit ...

    did you also noticed the same ???

    :)
