Hardware monitoring system and method therefor

A hardware monitoring system for a computer system, comprising:

• a hardware monitor, having a first temperature sensor for sensing a first temperature value of a first temperature area;
• and
• a complex programmable logic device electrically connected to the hardware monitor, the complex programmable logic device having a second temperature sensor for sensing a second temperature value of a second temperature area,
• wherein the complex programmable logic device is configured to read and compensate for the second temperature value, and the hardware monitor is configured to read the first temperature value and the compensated second temperature value and to control heat dissipation of the computer system based on the first temperature value and the compensated second temperature value,
• wherein the complex programmable logic device is further electrically connected to an expandable component which is connected to a third temperature sensor for sensing a third temperature value of a third temperature area,
• wherein the complex programmable logic device is configured to read the third temperature value from the expandable component and compensate for the third temperature value,
• wherein the complex programmable logic device is further configured to compare the compensated third temperature value with the compensated second temperature value and feeds back a greater temperature value of the compensated second and third temperature values to the hardware monitor, and
• wherein the hardware monitor is configured to control heat dissipation of the computer system based on the greater temperature value and the first temperature value.
