What exactly is AMD Live????

Hi folks,

Setting up my new system at the moment AM2 3800x2 and I am wondering what exactly AMD Live actually does and am debating with myself whether to turn on the feature in my BIOS.

Also is CoolNQuiet worth enabling considering that I am overclocking the system?

Currently I have hit the wall as for overclocking as I am now at 2.5GHz (4900+ x2 equiv).
