Hey guys, I didn't know where else to go besides you geeks (I'm one too), but I need a program to help control my cpu output.
You see, I have an 17" HP pavillion, it's old and has one big 3.0 ghz core. The thing about the core is that it's always running on full power, which sucks my battery and also overheats the computer in a jiffy. My fans are always on, and they don't seem to be working that well.
Is there any program out there that would manage my cpu speed and make it only .5 ghz when there's not much going on, and to go all the way up to 3.0 ghz when there's a lot of stuff to be processed?
I've googled around for a cpu controlling software but I can't find any that look legit or that would accomplish what I'm trying to do. I'm running windows xp.
