不知道先前是否有人貼過了...希望K8的愛好者如有興趣或有溫度方面過高的問題的人不妨試試！但不保證在超頻狀況下能否正常使用喔！




AMD 針對 Athlon 64 Processor系列在 Windows 環境下為實現 Cool'n 'Quiet 以及 PowerNow!所推出的修正程式〈 AMD Athlon 64 Processor Driver for Windows XP , Version 1.1.0.18 或 AMD Athlon 64 Processor Cool'n'Quiet Software for Windows ME and Windows 2000, Version 1.0.1.7 〉與監控軟體〈 AMD Cool'n'Quiet / PowerNow! Dashboard 〉




安裝完驅動程式後調整電源配置〈攜帶型/膝上型 或 最小電源管理〉並配合監控軟體可以明顯察覺出待機與滿載時〝電壓〞及〝時脈〞的差異，等同於Intel 的 SpeedStep，對於省電及降溫有一定的助益
