Active Cooling or Passive Cooling?

[Starry Windy]

Just recently, I found out that in Advanced Options of Power Management in Windows, there are two types of cooling policies when cooling my laptop. First, there is Passive Cooling, which is basically slows the processor first if the laptop is heating, and the second, comes Active Cooling, which uses the fan inside of the laptop to try to cool it off, albeit at cost of hearing fan noises.

Which cooling method in your laptop do you prefer, and why?

I prefer active cooling because I prefer my processor to run faster, and fan noise does not bother me in most cases.

I also think active cooling cools a laptop better than passive cooling since other parts like hard drives, and circuit boards generate some heat when on, so they may run cooler when the fan is actively spinning.
