Abstract
An IHS includes an IHS chassis. A processor is located in the IHS chassis. At least one fan is located in the IHS chassis and in fluid communication with the processor. A temperature sensor is located in the IHS chassis. A fan controller is coupled to the processor, the at least one fan, the temperature sensor, and a storage device that includes a plurality of processor target temperatures that are each associated with a different ambient temperature. The fan controller is operable to receive a first ambient temperature from the temperature sensor, determine a first processor target temperature that is associated with the first ambient temperature, receive a temperature of the processor, and operate the at least one fan in order to reduce the temperature of the processor to the first processor target temperature.
