Patent number: 12298825Abstract: The disclosure provides a cooling solution that evaluates the thermal environment of a computer component based on transient thermal responses of the computer component. The transient thermal responses are generated by measuring the temperature rise of the computer component over a designated amount of time for multiple “good” assemblies and multiple “bad” assemblies to determine a duration and allowable temperature rise needed to set a pass/fail criteria for different failure modes of cooling devices. A cooling device may not be operating as designed due to damage, needed maintenance, missing thermal interface material (TIM), improper installation, etc. From the transient thermal responses, a thermal problem, such as a malfunctioning fan, can be determined and a corrective action can be performed.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2019Date of Patent: May 13, 2025Assignee: NVIDIA CorporationInventors: Qi Lin, David Haley, Chad Plummer, Hans Schulze, Darryl Moore
