What Is Thermal Throttling?

Kobzev Dmitry/Shutterstock.comComputers produce heat under normal use, but they produce a lot more of it when under heavy load. This can lead to a decrease in performance, known as thermal throttling. So what exactly is “throttling” and how can you avoid it? Thermal Throttling Protects Hardware Computer components like the CPU, GPU, and even memory modules produce heat. Under heavy load, they produce a lot more heat, which can lead to them getting too hot. Under sustained high temperatures, these components could be susceptible to permanent damage. When a component reaches a high enough temperatu… Click below to read the full story from How To Geek
