Embodiments include a computing device comprising: a housing; a temperature monitor configured to monitor a temperature within the housing; a cooling fluid drawing mechanism configured to draw cooling fluid into the housing; a cooling fluid drawing controller configured, when the computing device is installed within an enclosure as one of a plurality of computing devices, to obtain a value representing the monitored temperature, and if the value is within a predetermined range of values, to select an operating state for the cooling fluid drawing mechanism from among a first operating state in which the cooling fluid drawing mechanism is operable to draw cooling fluid into the housing at a first rate, and a second operating state in which the cooling fluid drawing mechanism is operable to draw cooling fluid into the housing at a second rate lower than the first rate, and to run the cooling fluid drawing mechanism in the selected operating state; wherein the selection of the operating state is made in dependence upon an indication of demand for cooling fluid from a group of one or more other computing devices from among the plurality of computing devices. |
