Abstract
Liquid cooling is selectively enabled at a portable information handling system to provide enhanced processing capabilities when needed or desired. A liquid cooling cold plate conducts thermal energy from a processing component heat pipe or heat sink to a liquid pumped from external to the information handling system housing. The pump operates with power provided from an AC/DC adapter of the information handling system or power provided from an interface with the information handling system, such as a USB port and cable. Alternatively, liquid cooling is included in a cradle to automatically engage with the information handling system is coupled to the cradle.
