1. An electronic device comprising:
a fan, wherein the fan is associated with an acoustic threshold;
an extender comprising one or more sensing devices and one or more interfaces for communication with one or more network devices;
a memory storing one or more computer-readable instructions; and
a processor configured to execute the one or more computer-readable instructions to cause the electronic device to:
receive, from the one or more sensing devices, one or more temperature measurements associated with the electronic device, wherein at least one of the one or more temperature measurements is associated with the extender;
determine an operational temperature of the electronic device based on the one or more temperature measurements;
compare, as an operational temperature comparison, the operational temperature to at least one of one or more temperature thresholds associated with one or more configuration parameters; and
alter, dynamically, one or more operational parameters of a plurality of operational parameters associated with the electronic device based on the operational temperature comparison and the acoustic threshold associated with the fan, the one or more operational parameters associated with a first tier throttle configuration, a second tier throttle configuration, or both.
