Processor Clock Throttling
The ACPI OS assesses the optimum CPU performance change necessary to lower the temperature using
the following equation:
Δ
P[%] = TC1(Tn-Tn-1) + TC2(Tn-Tt)
Δ
P is the performance delta, Tt is the target temperature = passive cooling trip point. The two
coefficients TC1 and TC2 and the sampling period TSP are hardware dependent constants the end user
must supply (setup options section ACPI Control Submenu).
It’s up to the end user to set the cooling preference of the system by setting the appropriate trip points
in the BIOS setup.
Note:
See chapter 12 of the ACPI specification (www.acpi.info) for more details.
