</div>It's just too bad dynamic clocking doesn't work with overclocking. I have<br>
an open bug report on this, but it's still broken; you can either have your<br>
stock clocks with throttling under linux, or you can overclock, but not<br>
both.<br>
<br>
(ex: 2160 that I clocked to 2.1 GHz, if I have speedstep enabled it blows<br>
over my overclock and runs at 1.2/1.8 GHz depending on the load. To get it<br>
to stick at 2.1GHz, I have to disable speedstep.)<br>
