1. An information handling system, comprising:

  • a chassis enclosure;

    one or more heat generating components contained within the chassis enclosure;

    one or more temperature sensors configured to sense at least one of fluid temperature within the chassis enclosure, temperature of at least one of the heat generating components, or a combination thereof;

    one or more variable speed cooling devices configured to provide different flow rates of cooling fluid within the chassis enclosure to cool the heat generating components;

    persistent storage including device speed control information stored thereon, the device speed control information representing a pre-defined relationship between device speed control values and the sensed temperature reported by at least one of the temperature sensors; and

    at least one processing device configured to receive values of sensed temperature from each of the temperature sensors, and to provide control signals to control device speed of each of the cooling devices;

    where the processing device is configured to access the device speed control information stored on the persistent storage and to control device speed response of each of the cooling devices based on the pre-defined relationship between values of cooling device speed and the current sensed temperature defined by the device speed control information; and

    where the processing device is further configured to receive user-configurable device speed modifier information entered by a user of the information handling system, andto execute to modify the device speed response of each of the cooling devices to the device speed control values specified by the stored device speed control information based on the user-configurable device speed modifier information by applying the user-configurable device speed modifier information to the stored device speed control values specified by the stored device speed control information at the current sensed temperature without changing the pre-defined relationship between values of cooling device speed and the current sensed temperature defined by the device speed control information.
