Heat dispersal *1

To protect against overheating, the processor is

 

equipped with an internal temperature sensor

 

which activates a cooling fan or lowers the

 

processing speed if the computer's internal

 

temperature rises to a certain level. You are able

 

to select whether to control this temperature by

 

either turning on the fan first, then if necessary

 

lowering the processor speed, or by lowering the

 

processor speed first, then if necessary turning

 

on the fan. Both of these functions are controlled

 

through the Power Options.

 

When the processor's temperature falls within

 

normal range, the fan and the processor

 

operation will return to its standard speed.

 

If the processor's temperature reaches an

 

unacceptably high level with either setting, the

 

computer automatically shuts down to prevent

 

any damage. In this instance all unsaved data in

 

memory will be lost.
