Will it make the system more stable? Will I be able to get higher clocks?
Why disable Cool n Quiet?

Well it shouldn't have any effect on me then, because I run my OC on stock voltage.

It should only affect you if you are overclocking using the FSB. All CnC does is drop the multi and the voltage, so if you have your FSB set to 250 instead of 200, when it drops to 4x multi for power saving, and goes to ~.95v it might not be stable at 1ghz like it would at 800mhz. If you are only using the multiplier, there's no reason to turn it off unless you are getting problems explicitly related to CnC.

Yeah I have the FSB at 250, but it seems to be stable at 1GHz .95v

So it does not Clock down your fan and your processor when you are at Idle.

I turn it off. I want all my GHz always running.

wait.. are u asking if it clocks down your fan if u use CnQ?
if u r, it does, because the temps are lower, so less rpms. Hell, sometimes, my fan turns OFF because my idle temps is about 29c (for 3.36)
btw, i think an important thing to note is, if u r OC'ing and u increase your voltage, your CnQ speed will also have said voltage increase. It's something i'm noticing. I'm trying to get to 3.5ghz so i upped my voltage. I noticed that my CnQ voltage is now at 1.15v instead of the 1.08 before. That corresponds to the .75 voltage increase i applied to the cpu currently. The side of effect of this is that my idle temp is now 30c instead of 29c. Ah well.

I haven't noticed instability with CnQ on. My fsb is at 247.

Whoever said that C'n'Q causes instability needs to recheck their facts. The new versions of C'n'Q 3.0 for the PII does NOT cause instability. 2.0, which was on the PI may have cause some stability issues for some, but the problem was fixed in 3.0
The only time when you really want C'nQ off is when you are benchmarking. Otherwise there is no harm with it on.

now this, i could see happening. That's a really good point. Do ppl not up their vcore though to compensate when oc'ing through the FSB? Although i guess technically, u don't have to if u r aren't oc'ing too. hmm...
