Thermal control with operating point shift for acoustic optimization

An information handling system, comprising:

• at least one air mover configured to cool a device of the information handling system;
• and
• an air mover control system configured to:
• control a speed of the air mover at or below a first air mover target speed to maintain a temperature of the device at or below a target temperature that includes a first target temperature and a second target temperature, wherein the control of the speed further includes:
• monitoring the temperature of the device and the air mover speed;
• if the air mover speed is greater than a second air mover target speed and the temperature of the device is greater than the first target temperature then setting the target temperature to the second target temperature;
• and
• if the air mover speed is less than the first air mover target speed and the temperature of the device is less than the first target temperature, then setting the target temperature to the first target temperature.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including code that when executed performs a method, the method comprising:

• maintaining operation of a device at or below a target temperature that includes a first target temperature or a second target temperature;
• controlling a speed of an air mover at or below a first air mover target speed to maintain a temperature of the device at or below the first target temperature;
• if the air mover speed is greater than a second air mover target speed and the temperature of the device is greater than the first target temperature, then setting the target temperature to the second target temperature;
• and
• if the air mover speed is less than the first air mover target speed and the temperature of the device is less than the first target temperature, then setting the target temperature to the first target temperature.
