11. A method, comprising:
detecting an environmental condition for a computing device;
determining a temperature condition for the computing device;
extracting a thermal metric for the computing device from a database including one or more thermal metrics for the computing device;
selecting, based on the environmental condition, the temperature condition, and the thermal metric for the computing device, fan operating parameters from among multiple fan operating parameters to apply to a fan within the computing device; and
controlling the fan based on selected fan operating parameters.
