balanced will allow cpu to reduce in speed and fans to slow down.
energy saver sets cpu to max 50% and also allows fans to slow down.

open the CHANGE PLAN SETTINGS and look at the details.





I can't find anything recording to CPU or fan in powersetting - Edit Plan
Settings. I only have these choises in "advanced settings":
Additional settings (password at wakeup Yes/No)
Hard disk
Wireless Adapter Settings
Sleep
Powerbuttons and lid
PCI Express
Search and Indexing
Display
Multimedia settings

None of them seems to hold any setting for CPU nor fan. It is not sleeptime
I'm looking after but the real Cool'n'Quiet function from AMD, where my CPU
can change the multiplier from anything between 5 and 12 at any time.
Something that an Intel CPU can't do (yet).
