An information handling system includes a pressure transducer and a fan controller. The pressure transducer produces a pressure reading in response to airflow through the information handling system. The fan controller is configured to communicate with the pressure transducer, the fan controller to operate a fan of an information handling system at a first duty cycle, to receive a first pressure reading from the pressure transducer, to determine a first airflow amount for the first duty cycle based on the first pressure reading, to create a first updated airflow-duty cycle table based on the first airflow amount at the first duty cycle, and to update a temperature control algorithm based on the first updated airflow-duty cycle table.
