How to Reduce OverHeating Of Laptops | Power Options

Heating is a major problem being faced by the laptop users. Heating may cause irreversible damage to the hardware inside like burning the CPU inside or reducing the overall efficiency, as the time goes on. This tip is very handy especially for the gamers and full time laptop users. Also, if you’re running out of warranty and just can’t replace your system, then this tip holds equally good for you. Buying cooling pads are also a very good option but rectifying the root problem is of no parallel.

Let us take a brief look at this tip. Our aim is to reduce the maximum processor state so that the games or any other activities that is consuming 100% CPU usage can only go to a defined limit, causing lesser heating effect. You can change these limits separately for “on-battery” state and for the “on-dock” state. This also results in efficient use of processor and subsequent battery power conservation

In this tutorial, I will tell you how to reduce the heating issue of your Laptops. This procedure is easy to perform at home without any professional assistance.

Based on experimental facts, it is seen that reducing the processor state by a few notches decreases the temperature by 15-20 degrees of centigrade while the processor’s

performance results in very slight incline. The decrease in processor performance is almost negligible. So by experience I can tell you that 95% processor state is a good number for “on Power” and 85% is a good number for “on Battery” Laptop.

First go to Start>Control Panel.Then go to >Power Options

Now, you should be here.

Then, click on Change plan setting option.

It doesn’t matter which plan you are using. Whether it is Balanced or Power saver, it will work for both the options.

Go to Change advances power settings

Now, scroll down the menu and choose “Processor power management”. Then choose “Maximum processor state” from drop down menu. Change the values as shown in the accompanying picture by inputting from your keyboard.

And you’re DONE.

The Super Computer Timeline

For last some decades, Supercomputer industry has become so widespread due to rapid increase in research facilities throughout the world and a substantial increase in research laboratories in the universities everywhere in the planet Earth. Day by day, the scientists and engineers involved in research are in demand of more and more Supercomputing systems.

In this article I’ve tried to go through the period of this Supercomputing systems development, from around 1970 until now. It also involves a brief account of giant machines which Supercomputer makers are planning to be design in the coming years.

Barcelona Supercomputing Center | Paving paths For Green Supercomputing

When it comes to high speed computing, super computers are always there to serve. Every new day comes up with improvements in design and speed. Now the Barcelona Supercomputer Center is developing a system with that will be providing us with the highest performance possible remaining in the green limits. Ramirez, a manager with the center, is currently involved in building an innovative supercomputer, called as MONT BLANC that will run from very low-powered chips as being used in tablets and smartphones these days.

This plan will start implementing next month with the assembling of first model of Mont-Blanc that will be bases on NVIDIA’s Tegra3 processors. They have eliminated the use of RISC based or Intel x86- based processors that are hitherto an essential part of almost every supercomputer available in the market. The Tegra3 will act as a communicator between diverse parts of the computer while the true information and number crunching is a task that will be performed by a multicore NVIDIA graphics processor that is consumes very low power too.

Most likely by June, Ramirez has planned to run tests for the extensively tracked TOP 500 Supercomputers, which determines how efficiently the system will achieve a benchmark program known as LINPACK. LINPACK benchmarks measures the supercomputer’s floating point computing capability or more commonly known as FLOPS (Floating-Point Operations per Second). Ramirez also says that he wants to get on the Green500 list which ranks the supercomputers by the order of power efficiency not just performance. He expects that Mont Blanc will get through this all and he foresees it to be in Top10.
