I'm not looking for a performance increase. I've got a problem with a sensor in my motherboard, making it register core temp as 255C. Which is insane and not true. But every time the sensor malfunctions, it throttles the CPU performance by like 90% to reduce what it thinks it 'heat'. I'm getting a replacement MOBO, but I don't want to have to delete all my crap and loose all my windows settings. =[
