Thread: SpeedStep and Overclocking

I have study this topic (SpeedStep) and get lots of conflicting information about whether or not to leave SpeedStep active when overclocking.

What I have heard:

Leave it on - saves power and cpu life
Leave it off - causes instability when overclocking
Just depends- results may be different depending on your MoBo or how high of an overclock you are trying to get.

Can anybody give me information on it? Thanks in advance.

System Info:

Intel Core 2 Duo e4600 @ 3ghz (12 x 250)
Asus P5L-MX
4gig Gskill DDR2 800mhz
ATI Radeon 5770 1gb DDR5

Try to play with your machine and see if it is steady or not. I do have to turn off for anything around 4GHZ to be steady.
