System and method for cooling multiple logic modules

A method to determine a proper clock cycle time for multiple logic mondules with different heat loads, the method comprising:

• determining a thermal state of each logic module of the multiple logic modules, each thermal state defined by a discrete temperature range associated with a clock speed predetermined to be a proper clock cycle time for the temperature range;
• determining whether a primary cooling means has been repaired, and
• increasing a voltage applied to a logic module to optimally use at least one of available cooling and power when operating in a backup cooling mode for maximum clock speed at a given temperature.

• determining whether a primary cooling means has been repaired;
• decreasing a voltage applied to a logic module when operating in a backup cooling mode and at least one of cooling or power is unavailable to reduce leakage currents that warmer degraded temperatures generate.

• determining whether a primary cooling means has been repaired;
• wherein said determining a thermal state of each logic module of the multiple logic modules is done through redundant thermal sensors directly monitoring a region representative of circuit temperatures of a corresponding logic module to provide at least one of thermal protection and redundancy to guide cooling control.
