Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 13:
14. A non-transitory machine-readable medium having instructions stored therein, which when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
determining a first input power drawn from a power source by an active IT component that is performing a set of operations, wherein coupled to the IT component is a thermoelectric cooling (TEC) element that draws a second input power from the power source that cools the active IT component;
receiving a temperature reading of the IT component from a temperature sensor;
determining whether the first and second input powers are to be adjusted, based on the temperature reading and the first input power; and
in response to determining that the first and second input powers are to be adjusted, adjusting the first input power that is drawn by the TEC element to adjust an amount that the TEC element cools the IT component, resulting in an adjustment to the first input power drawn by the IT component, such that the IT component continues to perform the set of operations while drawing the adjusted first input power that is less than the first input power.
