After we determine our oc settings stable after (doesnt matter Prime95,OCCT, Orthos) few hours of stressing, can we enable CIE,CIA2 and EIST ? Any chance of causing instability ?After enabling back do we have to stress it again just to make sure its safe ?
I finally decided to go with 4.1ghz daily @ 1.225v as it's still under stock voltage, (referring to VID, it's 1.2375v). Because on 4.2ghz I have to pump until 1.275v and 0.1ghz doesnt make any significant difference in real life performance. SS attached. The thing is now I wanna know whether enabling all (or either one or two of 'em) is safe for overclocked system.
I got difference answer thru google, overclock.net, extremeoverclocking.com and few other overclocking websites. So might as well open up the discussion to all the oc-ers here. Do you actually enable all the power saving options after you determine your daily overclocked setting system ? What to do and what not to ?
Just to share with you few posts regarding this issue -

Well i enabled every power saving feature on my OC'd e5200 and suffered no performance hits or instability.

As long as ur overclock is safe u can turn these settings on. Benefits are a lower power consumption while ur not stressing the cpu and lower temps. So yea go ahead as long as the OC is safe

Another confirmation that you can re-enable all the power-saving features you want and it *shouldn't* hinder your stability of your OC--that's what I've experienced on my current intel system. With my previous AMD system, the mobo would fail to boot if the system was OC'd and you turned on cool 'n quiet. So it does seem to be dependent on the mobo, though my old one was very low-quality, so perhaps that's why...

If you set your voltages on AUTO, then, the power saving functions will work. It will lower the voltages to match a lower frequency of the FSB. However, if you manually input the voltages in, like in most cases, then the voltages will not drop when your computer goes into the C1E state, negating any power saving feature, and end up overvolting an slower clock speed of the CPU.
Will your computer be stable? Most of the time. Is it safe to do so? Not quite sure, but most likely yes. Is it good to do so? Maybe not.

Well the last post seems against the idea of enabling the power saving options. What say u guys ?

... doing so will definitely increase the risk of instability
