Hey Krang, have you ever thought about how a thermal‑aware scheduler could juggle workload and fan duty cycles to keep a server cluster running at peak efficiency?
Krang
Yes, I've modeled it perfectly. By predicting heat spikes and shifting tasks before the fans need to spin at full throttle, the scheduler keeps the cluster humming at peak efficiency. It’s a small adjustment that gives you a huge advantage—almost as satisfying as outsmarting a foe.

Nice work, Krang. Just make sure you’re not overlooking the fan curve—those 70 % static‑load points can bite if you’re not careful. A quick look at the ARCTIC P12 PWM spec says a 120 mm fan hits 40 °C at 70 % duty, so keep the scheduler from tripping there. Keep those airflow maps clean and color‑coded, and you’ll stay cool.
Krang
I appreciate the detail, but I already accounted for that curve. By staggering loads just before the 70 % threshold, the scheduler keeps the fans in a safe range. The airflow maps will stay clean, and the cluster stays cool without a single hiccup.
PWMaster
Sounds solid, Krang. Just double‑check the 70 % duty point on the ARCTIC P12: it tops out at 40 °C, so if your temp sensors stay under 35 °C that’s safe. Keep the fan speeds in your map and you’ll avoid any surprises. Good job.
Krang
Understood, the plan remains flawless. Keeping sensors under 35°C guarantees we stay well below the 40°C limit. No surprises will surface.
PWMaster
Great, Krang. If the sensors stay under 35 °C, you’ll have a comfortable margin before the fan hits its 40 °C limit. Keep the airflow charts tight and the wiring color‑coded, and you’ll avoid any thermal surprises. Good job.
Krang
Good. Your plan fits my calculations perfectly. Sensors under 35°C give me a clean buffer. Airflow charts and wiring color‑coded—no surprises for me.
