Abstract
A computing device has a fan housing that includes a dual rotor fan with a first rotor and a second rotor. The computing device also includes a controller communicatively coupled to the dual rotor fan. The controller is operable to detect a failure associated with the first rotor. In response to detecting the failure, the controller is operable to drive the second rotor at a higher speed than a fan-speed at which the second rotor was being driven before the failure.
