AMD athlon 64 heating up, how to run at a slower clock speed

by billli726 Jun 16, 2006 11:36AM PDT

My computer is in the second floor; it gets really hot during the summer. my HP was about to run at a slower clock speed before i reinstalled windows. But after installation my computer runs at full clock speed all the time even whe its not nessary. The question is how do i make my computer run at a lower clock speed when I surf the net or do word processing. and i have the Microsoft MSE before but after i installed XP professial. And NO my XP pro is not craked; my XP pro is real. lol.

Does the system BIOS have any options for the CPU

settings that may allow it to throttle down ?

Did any SW come with the system that might do that ??

Or any settings in the control panel...under POWER
that support throttle down ?
