Notebook PC User Manual

Thermal Power Control

There are three power control methods for controlling the Notebook
PC’s thermal state. These power control cannot be configured by
the user and should be known in case the Notebook PC should
enter these states. The following temperatures represent the chassis
temperature (not CPU).

• The fan turns ON for active cooling when the temperature reaches

the safe upper limit.

• The CPU decreases speed for passive cooling when the temperature

exceeds the safe upper limit.

• The system shut down for critical cooling when temperature ex-

ceeds the maximum safe upper limit.
