Intel Core i7 2600 (without K) idle clock

[Subtuppel]

Hello there,

does anyone know if there is a possibility to lower the minimum speed of that cpu?
I use the 2600 w/o open multiplier because of the vPro Functions it has instead, but i cannot find a way to lower speed as well.

Or would it not make any power consumption difference if it ran at e.g. 1200 when idling?

Thanks in advance
Seb

Intel typically has their processors clock very low while idle. The power savings is very negligible (if there even are any) if you were to manage to change that.

That said, since you can't adjust any of the clock settings or multiplier, you aren't going to be able to change the speed. Even if you could, you couldn't change the idle speed on a processor. You can turn that off, but you can't change it.

thanks, wasn't sure if it's worth to make any firther effort searching for such a feature.

I'll just leave the cpu idling a 1,6K (which is a waste IMO)
