The exact same thing will happen to the previous XP 32 bit OS, when you ran a 16bit app.
It's the translator program that does it.
That being said, it is possible for a given cpu to not have cool'n'quiet enabled, as well as bios not supporting it (though Microsoft supposedly took it over and now controls it, much to the dismay of the AMD engineers who protested vehemently to no avail.) |
I should have added that many people are reporting and asking AMD and/or MS why do the FANS either RUN at 100% all the time or some times simply refuse to run... which can cause problems either way... I disabled Cool&Quiet in my Bios.. the reason: I have a temp display on the front of case that shows CPU temp.. with cool and quite it went from hot to cool, all the time. with Bios set to OFF I avg about 10 to 14 deg over room temp... 77 = 91 - Now.
