  • Publication number: 20080082219
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system comprises one or more processors and a memory module communicatively connected to the one or more processors. The memory module comprises logic instructions which, when executed on the one or more processors configure the one or more processors to activate a primary heat sink system, monitor the status of the primary heat sink system, and activate a secondary heat sink system when the primary heat sink system fails to meet an operational parameter.
