00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,480
have you ever come across the term thermal throttling when doing research

2
00:00:03,719 --> 00:00:11,120
to buy a new laptop or other device I mean it sounds kind of cool right like

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:16,080
yeah when this you know phone gets all thermal up in here you can crank that

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:20,920
throttle all fast look no that's not it thermal throttling

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:25,720
is a great technology but if you're experiencing it in most cases there is

6
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:30,960
something wrong with your device its design or the conditions in which you're

7
00:00:28,599 --> 00:00:35,960
using it I'll EXP explain what it is in a moment but first history lesson time

8
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:39,320
in the old days you know before gunnam style Justin Bieber and much more

9
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:44,960
importantly than either of those other two things the Pentium 3 1 GHz with

10
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:49,320
speedstep technology computer processors operated at one frequency and one

11
00:00:47,239 --> 00:00:54,199
frequency only with the power consumption and heat output that came

12
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:58,600
along with that if you didn't put a heat sink on it or a cooling fan failed in

13
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:04,320
your system it could heat up so much that it would literally burn burn itself

14
00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:06,479
to death it wasn't all bad though out of

15
00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:10,680
this negative characteristic of old PC stuff came the popular past time of

16
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:16,119
Geeks with obsolete Hardware creating blog posts and videos about cooking eggs

17
00:01:13,479 --> 00:01:20,040
and other food items on their CPUs so what the heck happened to that well

18
00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:24,360
today's microprocessors not just the ones in your computer but the ones in

19
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:29,600
your phone or other devices as well are super smart they are monitoring their

20
00:01:27,079 --> 00:01:34,119
temperature and power use hundreds of times per second and adjusting their

21
00:01:32,119 --> 00:01:39,079
performance so the frequency that they run at on the fly with features like

22
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:43,000
Intel speed step and NVIDIA GPU boost that means that if the Chip's power

23
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:49,159
consumption or in the case of thermal throttling temperature gets too high it

24
00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:54,240
will simply throttle back its performance and prevent itself from

25
00:01:51,079 --> 00:01:56,840
dying a quick and potentially delicious

26
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:59,960
death now I mentioned that in most cases you shouldn't observe thermal throttling

27
00:01:58,759 --> 00:02:06,360
with a device that's functioning correctly but this isn't always true

28
00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:11,520
some Thin and light laptops and especially some phones are actually

29
00:02:08,959 --> 00:02:16,360
designed to only be able to withstand the heat of let's say the graphics

30
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:21,480
processor or the central processor being fully utilized at one time and if you

31
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:24,879
hit both of them at the same time one or both will thermal throttle to keep the

32
00:02:23,319 --> 00:02:30,599
temperatures of your device under control because higher temperatures are

33
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:33,000
a unpleasant for the user's hand and and

34
00:02:30,599 --> 00:02:38,360
be detrimental to the short and long-term lifespan of the components

35
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:40,239
inside the phone especially the battery

36
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:45,000
so in these cases thermal throttling is a way to preserve some functionality

37
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:50,280
during heavy use in ultra thin compact devices rather than allowing the device

38
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:53,239
to just shut down entirely in order to

39
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:57,640
save itself speaking of functionality linda.com is today's episode sponsor

40
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:02,560
okay that was a terrible segue yes it was Nick but linda.com is a genuinely

41
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:06,400
awesome service they have thousands of courses available in their Library Each

42
00:03:04,239 --> 00:03:10,599
of which is taught by an industry expert and they add more every week learning on

43
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:14,440
linda.com is extremely flexible you can pick and choose what you want to learn

44
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:17,799
course by course or if you have a general interest in one area you can

45
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:22,640
head on over to linda.com in the playlist Center and learn from one of

46
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:26,360
the more than hundred mixtapes that they have available for a wide variety of

47
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:30,040
topics from photography to business to music production and best of all their

48
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:34,640
service is very affordable with plan starting at only $25 a month but they

49
00:03:32,599 --> 00:03:38,439
don't expect you to buy their service before you get a chance to try it if you

50
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:43,680
head over to linda.com tequi they will hook you up with a 7day free trial which

51
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:48,840
gives you full access to their knowledge schmorgus board I never thought I would

52
00:03:46,599 --> 00:03:52,079
use the word schoras board in one of these videos guys like this video if you

53
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:56,799
