Abstract:
A method and system are implemented for monitoring the thermal dissipation from a computer processing unit. The system comprises a temperature sensor, and a temperature controller. The temperature controller is configured to set a temperature observation window in a first temperature range, gradually narrow the observation window from the first temperature range after a monitored temperature of the processing unit has entered the observation window, and issue an alert signal when the monitored temperature exits the observation window.
