CpuIdle lowers the CPU temperature by disabling it when not needed. This prolongs the CPU life (a decrease by 10°C doubles the life span) and cuts power consumption. Unlike normal power management, it is active all the time and works even when you're actively using your computer.

    I have the KG7-Raid motherboard and it works great. Lowerd my overclocked system to normal levels. The ony problem is that you MUST install MBM (mother Board Monitor) for it to work. Why is that?

    Both Beta8 and now Beta9....S1 cooling still does not work. Have to use the C2 option. Not sure what this means but it didn't use to be like this.
    Why do I use it? Becuz...I've disabled ACPI and no longer have Win2K's built-in HLT function.
    Again....when it works, it works.

    It still does not run on winxp and I am running an Abit-KG7-Raid and it doesn't even detect it. so I think it kinda sucks. Love the idea though.
