Methods and systems for supporting similar thermal devices may involve collecting, by a thermal module on a management controller of an information handling system, device information about an add-in card, determining whether the add-in card was previously defined by matching the device against a table, searching the table based on the determination that the add-in card was not previously defined, determining whether the add-in card is supported by finding a match in the table, and applying a thermal tier associated with the match in the table based on the determination that the add-in card is supported. The device information collected may involve at least two of a reseller part number, description, device identifier, sub device identifier, vendor identifier, sub vendor identifier, slot identifier, lane width, and auxiliary power indicator. The search of the table may involve at least one of the description, lane width, and sub vendor identifier.
