Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods are disclosed where a user's position with respect to an electronic device including a fan is detected. A noise of the fan perceived by a user based on the user's position with respect to the electronic device is detected. A determination whether increased thermal dissipation is required is made and whether the noise of the fan perceived by the user is below a noise threshold. The system may increase fan speed if both increased thermal dissipation is required and if the noise of the fan is below the noise threshold.
