## Passive Power Mangagement
This options serves as a temporary solution to CPU power management due to no active solution are currently available. Comparing to a true active power managment implementation, this option works in a passive way which results in less sensitivity, accuracy and a slow down in performance.

I have been exploring possibilities for implementing a real active power management solution for AMD 17h platform. From what it looks like currently it is definitly possible. I will keep updating here with my latest progress.
