30 Setting Up and Using Your Computer
Enabling Cool ’n’ Quiet™ Technology
The Cool ’n’ Quiet technology controls your computer’s processor performance automatically, 
dynamically adjusting the operating frequency and voltage, according to the task at hand. When an 
application does not require full performance, significant amounts of power can be saved. Performance is 
designed to still be responsive, with maximum processor performance being delivered when required, 
and automatic power savings when possible.
