Abstract
An information handling system operating a chassis temperature control system may comprise an integrated circuit operatively connected to a proximity sensing strip and a processor, a temperature sensor measuring an exterior temperature of a portion of a chassis of the information handling system adjacent to the proximity sensing strip, and an orientation sensor measuring an orientation of one portion of the chassis to another portion of the chassis to indicate a laptop physical configuration of the information handling system. The integrated circuit may measure a capacitance across the proximity sensing strip such that a high capacitance measurement results in a low skin temperature limit setting, and the processor may execute code instructions of the chassis temperature control system to incrementally decrease a processor power draw limit level based on the exterior temperature measurement exceeding the low skin temperature limit setting.
