Abstract
A notebook computer having a temperature adjustment function for a microprocessor includes a clock generator, a thermal sensor, an I/O controller, a bus switch, and a voltage regulator. The thermal sensor and the I/O controller are connected between the microprocessor and the clock generator. The bus switch is connected between the microprocessor and the I/O controller and with the voltage regulator. When the surface temperature of the microprocessor exceeds a predetermined temperature, the system BIOS will immediately issue a command to the I/O controller to automatically lower the external clock and the power source voltage level of the microprocessor. Thereby, the power consumption of the microprocessor can be reduced to lower the surface temperature.
