Overclocking FX 6100 Bulldozer, is it necessary to turn off power savings options?

There are some power saving options like Cool n Quiet, C1E and C6 (I'm not sure how they really work).

Power saving options when they are enabled only apply themselves when my system is idle right? So that means I'm okay with having them enabled, they won't interfere with me at all if I'm gaming on my system isn't it?

Am I right about this? Or did I miss something?

I've read that stuff. He only said to disable them as they are "features you don't need". Which is a vague statement.

My real question is these power saving features will affect my performance or not?

I've already overclocked a little bit to 3.9 GHz. There is nothing wrong on what my CPU-Z shows me. The frequency stays the same.

My voltage is still on auto, and it also increases and stays roughly the same.

The one that I already bought which will come to me this Tuesday is Cooler Master V Modular Series.

Yeah I know about that. Just to be safe with my crappy PSU and also a not so good stock cooling solution.

Maybe I will buy the 212 Evo.
