A memory system configured to provide thermal regulation of a plurality of memory devices is disclosed. The memory system comprises a memory module having a plurality of memory devices coupled to a bus. Additionally, the memory system also comprises a controller coupled to the bus. The controller determines an operating temperature (actual or estimated) of the memory device. Based on the determined operating temperature of the memory device, the controller is further operable to manipulate the operation of the memory system.
