Title: XTweaks: Cool When Idle tweak putting all cores at 100% ? Post by: AlainGr on July 07, 2013, 03:28:57 pm Hi Peter,
Yesterday I just discovered that all the cores were at 100% all the time, though the frequency is limited at 1.2MHZ (from BIOS, from me)... When I set the "Cool When Idle" tweak at 1 (Cool, not better), the cores goes back to normal. As for the rest: Balanced Load: 45 Nervous Rate: 50 Provide Stable Power: 1 Utilize Cores Always: 1 Time Stability (W8): Stable Time Performance Index: Optimal ?

I have said this several times, also in Release Notes. This is a Windows 8 bug and either it is reality (which is what I believe) or it is not shown properly. In either case it is my advice to activate Cool when Idle for Windows 8. I never tried whether is sounds worse with that 100% behavior. I just never allow(ed) it to happen.

Peter What drove me back to check the cores performance was a "lag" that was happening for some time. But as I mention, the CPU is limited to 1.2GHZ while it is capable of much more - so no worry at this time. But thanks of course :) Alain |
