1. An information handling system comprising:
a plurality of hard disk drives;
a central processing unit (CPU) and memory complex;
a graphics processing unit (GPU) and input/output (I/O) complex;
a plurality of cooling fans to pull an airflow through the hard disk drives and to push the airflow through both the CPU and memory complex and the GPU and I/O complex; and
an airflow vane located in between the hard disk drives and the cooling fans, the airflow vane in a first configuration when the information handling system is in a CPU and memory centric configuration, and the airflow vane in a second configuration when the information handling system is in a GPU and I/O centric configuration.
