Abstract: An information handling system includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores data associated with cooling fans and other components within the information handling system. The processor receives a first set of data for a baseline cooling condition within the information handling system, and a second set of data for a current cooling condition. The processor determines whether a first subset of data in the first set of data is substantially equal to a second subset of data in the second set of data. If so, the processor determines whether a baseline device temperature is substantially equal to a current device temperature. If not, the processor determines a first degradation issue within the information handling system based on cooling fans in a first fan zone are operating at full speed, and both a first device temperature increases and a downstream components temperature increase.
