COOLING.EXE @ Asus Probe

[PDL]

Has anyone else been looking at this program?
Does anyone else know it is there?

I found it in the directory with AsusProbe and started it.
It puts a number in the taskbar that supposedly keeps track of the "CPU Usage"
Don't know yet what else it does.

It can't be just messing with the sensor because I also use a probe at the CPU die and when it is running the temp drops by 3 degrees celsius.

I'm guessing it's a program that sends the HALT command to your CPU when you're not using it...similar to Rain and the like. Personally, I don't like them, because they only lower your idle temps, and that's completely pointless (unless you idle your box all the time, but why would you want to do that when you could crunch SEIT of fold and actually get the most out of your nice overclock while helping out the site that gave you your knowledge?)...it also hurts the performance of your other programs (usually) because it's telling the CPU to stop while the programs are telling it to work...bit of a conflict of interest there.

Anyway, as always, I recommend not using such programs.
