Abstract
This document relates to providing a thermal management system for a device. One example determines temperature readings associated with one or more components of the device, and comparing the temperature readings to optimal operating temperatures. This example can selectively couple or decouple heat-dissipating elements based at least on the temperature readings associated with the one or more components of the device in order to reach the optimal operating temperatures.
