Η cooling system policy or System cooling policy is an option in the power supply that allows you to specify the cooling function you want to use in your processor.
The choices of the cooling policy of your system that are given to you are as follows:
- Active = First increase the speed of the processor fan to cool it, and slow down the processor to cool only as a last resort.
- Passive = Decelerate the processor first to cool down, and use the fan speed increase for cooling only as a last resort.
Today we'll show you how to set it up “System Cooling Policy” located beneath it Processor Power Management on Power options, for all system users Windows Vista , Windows 7 and Windows 8. In addition, you will learn how to hide or reopen this feature.
