Abstract: An information handling system having a heat exchanger positioned near and in thermally-conductive conduct with an electrical, heat-generating component of the information handling system, such as a central processing unit or graphics processing unit. A fan directs air across the heat exchanger to cool the electrical component by convection. A first portion of the heat pipe may be in direct physical contact with the electrical component and a second portion of the heat pipe may be in thermal contact with the electrical component and the first portion and in direct physical contact with an additional heat exchanger. The fan may direct air across both heat exchangers to cool the electrical component.

Abstract: A portable information handing system. The portable information handling system includes a main housing portion, the main housing portion comprising first enclosure portion, a second enclosure portion, a motherboard, an electrical path detection component and a thermal characteristic selection system, the electrical path detection component being physically coupled between one of the first enclosure portion and the second enclosure portion and the motherboard, the thermal characteristic selection system determining a material of the one of the first enclosure portion and the second enclosure portion, the thermal characteristic selection system adjusting a thermal design power value based upon the material and a lid housing portion, the display chassis portion comprising a display component and a rear display cover portion.
