Throttling helps to protect hardware, but it also has the undesirable result of slowing performance.

However, when the cooling system is not sufficiently sized, as is often the case for laptops and compact desktops, then processing power is throttled. To avoid frying the computer, a built-in cooling system attempts to remove a portion of the heat that could cause hardware damage. Processors generate so much heat that temperatures can rise to the point of causing errors, reducing hardware durability and can even leading to immediate hardware failure. The more work they do, the more power they pull, and the more power that goes through the system, then the more heat is created. Laptop Cooling System Fundamentals Heat GenerationĬomputers generate work through processors. Use this page to help you learn about your laptop’s built-in cooling system and to select the SVALT product model most optimized for you laptop model from the following list: SVALT product design begins with an understanding of how a laptop’s built-in cooling system works, and then researching how to help optimize the laptop’s cooling system while adding supplemental cooling to increase the laptop’s total cooling capacity, reduce heat degradation, and boost performance potential.
