 * Windows 7 Configure the system cooling policy**

You have probably tweaked the power settings on your Windows 7 computer; you might have even created a custom power plan. But have you delved into the advanced settings? You can specify how Windows should respond to heat conditions when your system has active cooling features. To do this, perform the following steps:-


 * 1) Click **Start | Control Panel**
 * 2) Click the **Power Options** applet
 * 3) In the right pane, for the power plan that you have selected to use, click **Change plan settings**
 * 4) Click **Change advanced power settings**
 * 5) In the Advanced settings dialog box, scroll down and expand **Processor power management**
 * 6) Expand **System cooling policy**
 * 7) Here you'll see the current setting (either Active or Passive) - click the setting to change it
 * 8) Click **OK**

The Active setting increases fan speed before slowing down the processor. The Passive setting slows the processor before increasing fan speed.
