Abstract
A method for controlling a cooling system for a device includes determining a power load of the processing system, determining a power load of the device, setting a first thermal setpoint based at least in part on the power load, determining a temperature of the device, adjusting a response of the cooling system based at least in part on the first thermal setpoint, detecting a change in the power load of the device to a higher power load having a higher magnitude acoustic response, in response to detecting the change in the power load, setting a second thermal setpoint having a lower magnitude acoustic response at the higher power load, the second thermal setpoint being based at least in part on a determined second corresponding acoustic response curve, and adjusting the response of the cooling system based at least in part on the second thermal setpoint.
