1. A system located within an enclosed space, the system comprising:
a processor;
a sensor that is controlled by the processor, the sensor configured to measure a parameter selected from a group consisting of an airflow rate, an air temperature, and a current supply for a computing device;
a memory that stores code executable by the processor to:
receive the parameter from the sensor;
determine when the parameter reaches a threshold, wherein the parameter includes a difference between the air temperature at an inlet of the computing device and the air temperature at an outlet of the computing device; and
operate in a low power mode in response to determining that the parameter reached the threshold.
