Heat dispersal To protect from overheating, the processor has an internal temperature sensor.

You can select whether to control the processor temperature by turning on the fan first, then if necessary, lowering the processor speed. Or, by lowering the processor speed first, then if necessary, turning on the fan. These functions are controlled within the Power Options. When the processor temperature falls to a normal range, the fan is turned off and the processor operation returns to standard speed. If the processor temperature reaches an unacceptably high level with either setting, the system automatically shuts down to prevent damage. Data in memory will be lost. User's Manual 4-11
