An information handling system may include a processor having a plurality of cores integrated within an integrated circuit package and a thermal controller communicatively coupled to the processor and configured to, responsive to absence of a condition for operating the processor with a reduced core count, control the processor in accordance with a standard thermal profile defining a maximum operating temperature of the processor as a function of power consumed by the processor, and responsive to presence of the condition for operating the processor with the reduced core count, control the processor in accordance with a modified thermal profile defining a modified maximum operating temperature of the processor as a function of power consumed by the processor, wherein for a given power consumption of the processor, the modified thermal profile defines a modified maximum temperature that is greater than the maximum operating temperature defined by the standard thermal profile.

Systems and methods for thermal throttling via processor core count reduction and thermal load line shift

An information handling system (IHS) includes a node enclosure containing one or more heat-generating functional components. A cold plate is attached to an inner surface of the node enclosure. The cold plate presents a conduction surface to a selected at least one of the one or more heat-generating functional components. A spring is positioned between the inner surface of the node enclosure and the cold plate. The spring positions the conduction surface into conductive proximity with the selected at least one of the one or more heat-generating functional components.

Liquid cooled chassis

A system and method of controlling a cooling fan in an information handling system is disclosed. A fan request signal is received from a component of an information handling system and a determination is made regarding whether the component is configured to operate with a cooling fan. If the component is configured to operate with the cooling fan, the fan request signal is transmitted to the cooling fan. If, on the other hand, the component is not configured to operate with the cooling fan, a revised fan request signal is generated and transmitted to the cooling fan.

System and method of controlling an air mover

An information handling system includes a plurality of components, and a controller. The controller determines a separate thermal resistance for each of the components, categorizes each component into one of a plurality of cooling domains based on the thermal resistance of the component and an amount of air flow around the component, and adjusts cooling controls for each of the components based on the respective cooling domain of the component.

System and method for detecting the presence of alternate cooling systems

In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a system may include a structural element and a heat pipe. The structural element may be for mechanically supporting an information handling resource. The heat pipe may be thermally and mechanically coupled to the structural element, such that the heat pipe conducts heat generated by an information handling resource supported by the structural element to the structural element.

Systems and methods for heat management of an information handling resource in an information handling system

In accordance with these and other embodiments of the present disclosure, a controller for thermal control of an enclosure comprising one or more storage resources may be configured to receive an indication of a physical quantity indicative of a power delivered from at least one power supply module to information handling resources of the enclosure. The controller may also be configured to, based on the physical quantity indicative of the power delivered from the at least one power supply module, determine a desired rate of the flow of air from at least one air mover configured to cool one or more storage resources received by the enclosure by delivering a flow of air within the storage enclosure and cause the at least one air mover to deliver the flow of air in accordance with the desired rate.
