- crote 6mo agoWell, what if? We don't live in the AMD Athlon era[0] anymore. Modern CPUs are designed to boost until they hit a thermal limit, improper cooling is just going to result in a lower clock speed. [0]: https://youtu.be/UoXRHexGIok?t=55 https://youtu.be/UoXRHexGIok?t=55

- bobsterlobster 6mo agoWhat a blast from the past. I still remember seeing it for the first time on my Socket A Athlon 1900+ pc.
- bobsterlobster 6mo agoIf windows crashes, then the audio generation crashes, so the fan will start to operate without PWM. Should default to 100%. At least that's how the PWM fans I have behave when the PWM signal suddenly disappears.
