Underclocking, also known as downclocking, is modifying a computer or electronic circuit's timing settings to run at a lower clock rate than is specified. Underclocking is used to reduce a computer's power consumption, increase battery life, reduce heat emission, and it may also increase the system's stability, lifespan/reliability and compatibility.
Every program or task that runs on a computer system occupies a certain amount of processing time on the CPU. If the CPU has completed all tasks it is idle. Modern processors use idle time to save power. Common methods are reducing the clock speed along with the CPU voltage and sending parts of the processor into a sleep state.
Dynamic frequency scaling (also known as CPU throttling) is a power management technique in computer architecture whereby the frequency of a microprocessor can be automatically adjusted "on the fly" depending on the actual needs, to conserve power and reduce the amount of heat generated by the chip.
Dell Precision is a series of computer workstations for computer-aided design/architecture/computer graphics professionals, or as small-scale business servers [citation needed]. They are available in both desktop (tower) and mobile (laptop) form.
A mid-tower computer case from c. 2011. In personal computing, a tower unit, or simply a tower, is a form factor of desktop computer case whose height is much greater than its width, thus having the appearance of an upstanding tower block, as opposed to a traditional "pizza box" computer case whose width is greater than its height and appears lying flat.
The Windows power management system is based upon an idle timer. If the computer is idle for longer than the pre-set time, then the PC may be configured to sleep or 'hibernate'. Windows uses a combination of user activity and CPU activity to determine when the computer is idle.
Dell OptiPlex Series 4 DT, SFF and USFF Chassis. OptiPlex (a portmanteau of "optimal" and "-plex") is a line of business-oriented desktop and all-in-one computers made for corporate enterprises, healthcare, the government, and education markets.
The PowerEdge (PE) line is Dell's server computer product line. PowerEdge machines come configured as tower, rack-mounted, or blade servers. Dell uses a consistent chip-set across servers in the same generation regardless of packaging, [1] allowing for a common set of drivers and system-images.
