Abstract

Systems and methods for detecting an incorrectly attached heat sink component on an electronic device. The system includes one or more temperature sensors secured to the electronic device and a controller unit comprising one or more processors and one or more computer-readable media, the computer-readable media having stored thereon executable instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to perform a method for detecting incorrectly attached heat sink components. The method includes receiving temperature data, calculating a thermal ramp rate, comparing the thermal ramp rate to a predetermined threshold ramp rate, and transmitting a fault signal when the calculated thermal ramp rate exceeds the predetermined threshold ramp rate.
