AMD Releases Fusion for Gaming RC1
AMD's Fusion for Gaming tool is finally out of beta, and ready for download. So what's it all about?
Well, for starters, it's no doubt intended to create a little buzz for a platform that has taken a bit of a beating in the recent past.
Beyond that, Fusion is designed to boost performance by shutting down background processes and applications automatically before you settle in for a gaming session. While most power users already know how to do this using services.msc and other tools that ship with the OS, the average user orlazy efficiency-minded geek will find Fusion a very handy way to get the job done.
There really aren't any other tools out there right now that offer Fusion's one-click simplicity.
Overclocking features are built-in as well, though they'll only be available if you happen to be running a pure AMD platform (Athlon CPU and ATI video card). If you do, Fusion will automatically tweak your CPU and GPU to squeeze out a few extra ounces of gaming muscle.
Is it worth it? Try it yourself and see, you may get a few extra frames for your trouble.

im using an Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro so its just air cooled but it is a nice cooler. i've taken it from 3.2GHz to 3.5GHz without much trouble but i don't really run it at that for too long. i really don't OC it that much. 3.2 dual-core is plenty fast most of the time

Woah, grammar and punctuation would help so much in understanding what you actually meant to say.
