1. An information handling system for optimizing performance of a component communicatively coupled to the information handling system, comprising: a data gathering module configured to retrieve: an operating condition characterization value from the component, the operating condition characterization value substantially based on a predetermined characteristic of the component; and an operating condition characterization value type corresponding to the operating condition characterization value; and an operating condition controller module communicatively coupled to the data gathering module, configured to modify an operating condition of the component based at least on the retrieved operating condition characterization value and the operating condition characterization value type.
