In one or more embodiments, an information handling system may determine that a housing is in contact with the information handling system that is operating with a first operating profile. For example, the housing may be or include a case or a cover. In response to determining that the housing is in contact with the information handling system, the information handling system may determine a second operating profile of the information handling system that increases a processing speed of at least one processor of the information handling system. In one or more embodiments, the second operating profile may be or include a thermal profile that permits the information handling system to have an increased skin temperature of at least a portion of the information handling system. In one or more embodiments, the information handling system may operate based at least on the second operating profile.
