Rep Power: 2 | Its pretty simple!! All you have to do is follow the following steps!! Before you start downloading, 1.Use AMD OverDrive(AMD Software) and underclock your processor speed say something around 1ghz and also reduce the cpu voltage! 2.Use Riva Tuner 2.24(to underclock your video card) and reduce your GPU core,Shader speed,memory speed of your card to minimum possible!! And thats it now your pc is ready to save a lot of power!! and it will also be cool!.Once you finish all your downloads just restart your pc are set the CPU and GPU speeds to normal using the above said softwares! |

Rep Power: 2 | I just turn off monitor and speakers to save power. Nothing else.My question is 'How much power we are likely to save by under clocking CPU ram etc. ?' |
