Abstract: In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, an information handling system may include a circuit board, a device communicatively coupled to the circuit board via an electrical interface, a temperature sensor for sensing a measured temperature associated with the device, an air mover, a heating element thermally coupled to the electrical interface, and a thermal control system. The thermal control system may be configured to receive a temperature signal from the temperature sensor indicative of the measured temperature, responsive to the measured temperature being above a maximum threshold temperature, control the air mover to generate airflow sufficient to at least reduce the measured temperature to below the maximum threshold temperature, and responsive to the measured temperature being below a minimum threshold temperature, control the heating element to cause the measured temperature to be maintained above the minimum threshold temperature.
