AMD Cool and quiet on Vista

Now a days most motherboards have a whelp of circuitry designed to optimize the use of CPU fans which help fans automatically regulate when cooling is needed on the computer. That being said many people have been having problems with installing AMD's famous C&C ( cool and quiet) software on a Vista running machine. Why is this? Simle, Vista actually has built in support for C&C functions therefore there is no actual driver needed for it. Go to control panel--->system and then power options. From here there are a variety of ways you can optimize your computers power usage ane performance . If you hit "change when the computer sleeps" You can see another option at the bottom that says " change advanced power settings" Scrolling down you can change the power options for your processor. For example in power saver mode you might set the minimum to 1% of processor use and the max to 100%. If you want to maximize gaming , you might set this to 100% across the board.
