Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) techniques that are thermal aware can enable the prevention of uncorrectable errors without premature replacement of memory resources with redundant memory resources. In one example, a management controller (such as Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)) can monitor the rate of corrected errors. When the BMC detects that there are too many corrected errors occurring within certain time duration, the BMC can check the temperature and airflow rate of memory modules. Based on temperature data, the BMC can boost the fans and verify the reduction in memory corrected errors. If after multiple retries the rate of corrected error remains same, the BMC can enable memory resource replacement techniques such as SDDC or ADDDC or sparing on the failing memory module.
