The difference is that Passive cooling is just a heat sink that dissipates the heat into the air without the help of a fan. Active cooling is when you have a heat sink and a fan is directly blowing/sucking air thru the heat sink to cool it. The fan does not have to be on the heat sink as with some dell/gateway computers. The fan is on the plastic shroud, which in turn fits right over the heat sink. Water cooling and phase-change cooling is also considered active cooling.

If you open your PC and look at the CPU how can you tell if it uses active or passive cooling?
If the PC and CPU are still plugged in and the computer is turned on, a person can tell if they have an active or passive cooling system. An active cooling system allows the fan to run constantly. A passive system allows the fan to run only when there is danger of overheating.

Is this sentence active or passive In the depression skilled and unskilled laborers lost jobs?
This is an active sentence.To find out if this is active or passive find the verb. The verb in this sentence is 'lost'.The verbs in passive sentences have this form - be verb + past participle.So a single verb - lost - is not a passive verb phrase.Another way you can tell if a sentence is passive or active, is ask yourself who or what did the action of the verb? Who lost jobs? The answer is skilled and unskilled labourers. The phrase skilled and unskilled labourers comes before the verb so it is in the subject position - subject + verb. This will tell you this is an active sentence.In a passive sentence the subject is not given. Or if it is given it is called the agent and is put at the end of the sentence using - by + noun (phrase).This is a passive sentence:In the depression jobs were lost.Or if you want to say who lost the jobs:In the depression jobs were lost by skilled and unskilled workers.
