Heat dispersal
To protect from overheating, the CPU has an internal temperature sensor.
If the computer’s internal temperature rises to a certain level, the cooling
fan is turned on or the processing speed is lowered. You can select
whether to control the CPU temperature by turning on the fan first, then if
necessary, lowering the CPU speed. Or, by lowering the CPU speed first,
then if necessary, turning on the fan. Use the
Cooling Method
item of the
Basic Setup
tab in TOSHIBA Power Saver.
Maximum
Performance
Turns on the fan first, then if necessary, lowers
the CPU processing speed.
Performance
Uses a combination of the fan and lowering the
CPU processing speed.
Battery optimized
Lowers the CPU processing speed first, then if
necessary turns on the fan.
When the CPU temperature falls to a normal range, the fan is turned off
and the CPU operation returns to standard speed.
If the CPU temperature reaches an unacceptably high level with either
setting, the system automatically shuts down to prevent damage. Data in
memory will be lost.
