I know everybody wants as much power as possible, but, when i am not using my machine or just surfing the web, watching movies, downloading or other stuff that doesn't really need 5Ghz and a small nuclear powerplant to run, i would like my machine to be as power efficient as possible, which also makes it run cooler and quieter.

I do not use to powersaving feature in win7, other than turn of hdd and monitor after x min.
Right now i'm using the energysaver application from gigabyte, seems alright, but maybe it's not, limited to gigabytes users only tho, but maybe there is a universal way.
maybe you know of a better option.
