Computer cooling device activity indication

A computing device, comprising:

• a cooling fan;
• a cooling activity monitor configured to assess a rotational fan speed of the cooling fan;
• and
• a cooling activity reporter configured to, based at least in part on the rotational fan speed of the cooling fan crossing a predefined cooling activity threshold, communicate a cooling activity indication to a resource manager of the computing device, the resource manager of the computing device configured to, based at least in part on the cooling activity indication, control one or both of one or more hardware components of the computing device and one or more software applications of the computing device to reduce the rotational fan speed of the cooling fan.
