The CPU's clock speed and VCore are automatically decreased when the computer is under low load or idle, to save battery power, reduce heat and noise. The lifetime of the CPU is also extended because of reduced electromigration, which varies exponentially with temperature. [1] The technology is a concept similar to Intel's SpeedStep technology.
Computer fans are widely used along with heatsink fans to reduce temperature by actively exhausting hot air. There are also other cooling techniques, such as liquid cooling. All modern day processors are designed to cut out or reduce their voltage or clock speed if the internal temperature of the processor exceeds a specified limit.
Power consumption due to leakage power emanates at a micro-level in transistors. Small amounts of currents are always flowing between the differently doped parts of the transistor. The magnitude of these currents depend on the state of the transistor, its dimensions, physical properties and sometimes temperature.

In August 1995, HP released the first computer in the Pavilion line known as the HP Pavilion 5030, an IBM PC–compatible desktop computer designed for multimedia use. While it was not the first multimedia PC the company made, it was the first computer made by HP that was designed specifically for the home market.
The postgame message of “sticking together” from Matt Eberflus following the Chicago Bears' Thanksgiving Day loss to the Detroit Lions reportedly did not go over well with members of the team.
Underclocking can also be performed on graphics card processor's GPUs, usually with the aim of reducing heat output. For instance, it is possible to set a GPU to run at lower clock rates when performing everyday tasks (e.g. internet browsing and word processing), thus allowing the card to operate at lower temperature and thus lower, quieter fan speeds.
Step 2: Repeat the cut. Place the thick part of the roast on the cutting board. Slice horizontally through this thick section toward its outer edge, unfolding as you slice.
