Abstract
Methods and systems for cooling computer systems, in which the computer system has a processor and a fan. An exemplary method includes: determining a temperature threshold for operating the fan at greater than low speed; determining a temperature of the computer system; and throttling the processor if the determined temperature corresponds to the temperature threshold for operating the fan at greater than low speed.
