Abstract
An acoustic and thermal energy management system and method comprising a microprocessor and a thermal mass positioned at a distance from the microprocessor, the microprocessor and thermal mass being thermally connected to the microprocessor in a manner to transfer thermal energy from the microprocessor to the thermal mass. The acoustic and thermal energy management system transferring heat from the microprocessor to a thermal mass for dissipation reducing the level of heat at the microprocessor, thereby limiting the operation of or the operation level of a fan.
