NVIDIA GRID K2
Graphics Board BD-06580-001_v02 | 12
THERMAL SPECIFICATIONS
The NVIDIA GRID K2 graphics board uses passive heat sinks that require system
airflow to properly operate the card within thermal limits. Table 5 provides thermal
information necessary to deliver reliable operation of the NVIDIA GRID K2 GPU. This
information is not intended to provide a specific thermal management solution.
For more detailed information regarding thermal specifications for the NVIDIA GRID
K2 board, refer to the NVIDIA GRID K2 System Design Guide (DG-06546-001).
