IES works very good, i used this, but my mobo aren't good to this. Is very simple.

Just tested this today. From CPU Vcore Voltage 1.092 V it decreases to 0.850 V great for normal task like browsing.. Thanks Asrock glad my mobo supports this ^__^

This doesnt work! I tested the consumption with a hardware watt analyzer and its the same in off and online mode in IES. Use Cool.n.quiet in bios and cpu thermal and lower cpu, not quad but dual.

Ive got an ASUS 880GHX mobo using an AMD Phenom2 X4 3.4Ghz, 4 Gb Ram and running 64bit Windows 7, with a nice wee second hand MSI nvidia 260 GTX card.

I have had ZERO problems using the IES and the instant boot programs that come with the board, and no problems running games while these programs are active.

For the record, I have no interest in overclocking any components in my system, and as a result I never have any hardware problems.

Just saying.

I've been running this ASRock board for about 2 months and just realised this feature via a pamphlet I found in the box, so I launched it, click the big green button, BAM! BSOD!! Stop 0xFC "An attempt was made to execute to non-executable memory"

Anyone else had this?

by my calculations, i will save $0.50 per year running my computer 16 hours per day for 365 days. THANK YOU ASROCK!

I have a AsRock motherboard 790GX pro, and I am very happy with this feature. I would recomend anyone to buy AsRock motherboards. Even big companies could save lots of money in electricity if they use IES supported mobos.

Keep it up AsRock :D

The 64bit version of this is better than the 32bit. In windows7 x64 you can just leave it on all the time, doesnt matter if you are playing games or whatever, it pumps the right amount of power to your pc at all times. Windows XP x32bit is another story however, as people have said, you need to turn it off when gaming, otherwise the games get jerky... and this can be annoying when you forget you have got it running and wonder why games are jerky in XP lol. Big thumbs up for Win7.
