ASUS AI-SUITE

OS has got sleep feature but I'm not sure I'll work.. you can try changing settings in your BIOS Power management section.. mine doesn't resume from sleep.. well.. it does resume but nothing on the screen.. my monitor remains switched off..

You can try it..

You can't resume because of your overclock.

Same happens to mine if I run at fsb 400. Northbridge is stressed to the maximum at 400MHz. But 401MHz is in the next fsb strap, which relieves the NB a great deal and then standby works

Yeah we all know what happened to Dexter!!!

That's Asus's fault, not BIOS's fault. Their Windows BIOS update software sucks

I can't figure it out how it keeps downloading while its sleeping.is this the same sleep in OS, i mean all the things go to sleep like standard OS sleep :/
or the mobo has the ability to keep certain hardwares alive?
I'm referring to AI nap

This is different than normal sleep function. In normal sleep function all the tasks stop. But in AI-nap tasks are running (but not tasks with high priority). As I think it decrease the voltage and off the monitor.

You think?

If you want truly a low power system, lower the Vcore as far as you can while maintaining 12hour prime stability. that is what i have done.

i've dropped from 1.325V nominal voltage to 1.2375V (actually 1.184V in CPU-Z). If you say 1.2375V, it lowers the power consumption of the CPU by 13%, and if you take the real voltage (1.184V), then the power consumption is 20% less than nominal. however, since i have overclocked by 50%, the power consumption is still higher than at stock clocks + stock voltage.

No, sure

Yeah! because when I run everything @ default settings no porbs!
