    Hey there..

    In vista i used Power4 Gear eXtreme to control all this and i quite like it.. Even the default CPU control feature in vista is nice.. but in xp i just cant seem to figure this.. I've tried NHC, RMClock and stuff, but i just cant make it good.. I need to make profiles that are making the pc very quiet without it becomes totally slow. I did have NHC Pro but i couldnt seem to edit any of the features like Voltage... (yes i had advanced settings on)..

    Can anyone guide me a bit to make my pc have some profiles, high performance, gaming (good performance but not too noisy), quiet office and battery saving..


    any help would be awesome!

    thanks

    There's a nice guide to RMClock undervolting right under your nose if that's what you're looking for.
