2.12 Thermal Considerations
CAUTION
A chassis with a maximum internal ambient temperature of 38
o
C at the processor fan inlet is a
requirement. Use a processor heatsink that provides omni-directional airflow (as shown in
Figure 23) to maintain required airflow across the processor voltage regulator area.

Figure 23. Processor Heatsink for Omni-directional Airflow
CAUTION
Failure to ensure appropriate airflow may result in reduced performance of both the processor
and/or voltage regulator or, in some instances, damage to the board. For a list of chassis that have
been tested with Intel desktop boards please refer to the following website:
