Abstract
A fan controller for fan of an electronic device can provide dynamic acoustic-based fan control so as to maintain a fan speed so as not to exceed an acoustic threshold. The fan controller can receive one or more temperature measurements associated with the electronic device and can based on these one or more temperature measurements determine an operational temperature of the electronic device. By dynamically and independently controlling the fan speed of a fan of the electronic device based on a determined operational temperature and the acoustic threshold, the electronic device can operate without exceeding the set acoustic threshold while maintaining the operational temperature so as prevent damage to one or more elements of the electronic device.
