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.<\/p>\n<p>When a component reaches a high enough temperature, performance is limited to prevent heat build-up and encourage cooling. Components can only safely run at their full potential if whatever cooling solution is provided can keep them within a safe operating temperature.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>10 Quick Steps to Increase PC Performance<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrottling\u201d in this context means \u201cditching performance\u201d in the form of lowering clock speeds.

You can find out whether you\u2019re thermal throttling by using a system monitor tool like MSI Afterburner\u00a0to watch your GPU and CPU clock speeds.<\/p>\n<p>But this phenomenon isn\u2019t just limited to computers. Many tablets and smartphones encounter thermal throttling due to their fanless design. These devices rely on passive cooling, which is fine for light tasks but might trigger thermal throttling under sustained load.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-736883 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/macbook_air_m1.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"MacBook Air (2020, M1)\" width=\"650\" height=\"386\" data-credittext=\"Apple\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App<\/a>le<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For example, the Apple Silicon M1 chip has been lauded by critics for its excellent performance and efficient design, but neither the base model MacBook Air nor the 2021 models of iPad Pro <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/61820\/apples-m1-macbooks-are-so-efficient-they-dont-need-big-batteries-or-loud-fans\/\">are actively cooled<\/a>.
