Abstract
A method and system detect temperatures of multiple zones of a computer system using sensors distributed across the computer system. For each of the sensors, the system may determine whether a detected temperature associated with the sensor exceeds a predetermined value. If the detected temperature exceeds the predetermined value, the system may cool at least one of a plurality of devices of the system, based on a proximity of the at least one of the plurality of devices to the sensor.
